Portsmouth, Gravesend or Rosyth come to mind (I favor the latter because you could include the Forth Bridge). Hell, park us on the Thames in front of Parliament if you want to go showy, or at Fort William in Scotland, though neither are historically accurate.

853 Xero_Snake Members 5,165 posts 60 battles Report post #12 Posted September 8, 2016 Society would have been a better place if we put aside political, religious, cultural and philosophical differences and get along together like brothers and sisters. Make peace, not war. It's a beautiful sentiment, but this is sadly not the reality we're living in because politicians (especially the West) still think that Cold War is still on, fighting over who has a bigger stick in the world of which nation represents mankind's future. If everyone can get along regardless of respective differences, then we can change that for a better future. Peace and best wishes. Can you understand this quote, Tiger?

San Francisco would be one, toss in the city background and the Golden Gate itself. Not to mention until the base closures in the 1990s with the end of the Cold War, San Francisco was a big homeport to USN ships. And a special surprise...

Just poking at the "Wargaming is Russian" meme wherever I can, is all. I honestly really, really like the St. Petersburg port, and hope it remains in game after the event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they have full right to make themselves such present plus it is one of the most beautiful European cities and this port looks absolutely fantastic.

Belarus is as close to being Russian w/o being in Russia as possible. It basically exists to be a Russian tax haven.... Anyways the Port is beautiful.
