Canada's Sky Navy
« on: May 14, 2010, 06:14:10 PM »
Given that Australia appears to have a sky navy as mentioned in the Timeline, I was wondering if Canada did as well?  Can we expect to see the RCAF?  Given the time period and comparisons to actual history it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume Canada would have a small fleet of skyships as well.

As added food for thought brought to me by my roommate...

Game timeline seems to put the general game date at 1910, the same year the Canadian Navy was established to assist Britain in its naval arms race against Germany in real life. If nothing else, the reason for the formation of Canadian ships would not have changed even in the alternate history, especially not with the Canadian armed forces entering the world stage in South Africa. Britain would likely put the same pressure on Canada to have their back in the arms race, necessitating a Canadian presence in the skies.

I fully intend to include the Canadians in any game I run, but it would be nice to see it legitimized in game lore.
