Well, yes, but I thought it might have seemed greedy if I asked for that.

All I want for my valentines day is to see an Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate in the Black Sea keeling over with a big Ukrainian made hole in the hull..

I imagine the different refineries also specialize somewhat, so possibly a deeper impact- my understanding is that this made products for specific military needs?

I like the way the drone encountered a zone of EW from one side of the vehicle, so moved around and attacked from the other

They won't run out, per se, as they constantly manufacture them, but it's quite likely they dont have enough for all their launchers. They are also very expensive, draining russias resources to make

Hmmm, 1600 very well paid middle/upper class people in St Petersburg suddenly being made redundant and one of the biggest, cash generating companies going bankrupt as a result of the SMO.. Yes, that's not going to have repercussions among the upper echelons..

Yes, indeed. You'd think there would be enough fans of the genre around the world to create a kind of 'hard sci fi' studio to make these types of series, but I imagine I'm just dreaming there.. plus incredibly hard to adapt to a tv/film format!

Great podcast series by the way, I listen to it on my daily commute. Lovely bit of escapism from the dull Grey tedium of the working world

True, though it does illustrate that you can have an accessible sci fi series that can still stick to solid scientific principles for how everything works, even if they get a little 'fudged' in places when necessary

Question for @writervh.bsky.social (and possible micro spoiler, just FYI)- there is a scene with a genestealer that appears to be trying to avoid being consumed by the hive, it's independent nature conflicting with the demands of the hive mins, is that the correct interpretation?

And now Russian helicopter crews will be terrified to head out to hunt the USVs, allowing them to get closer to their targets..

And now Russian helicopter crews will be very reluctant to go out over the sea, letting these USVs get closer to their targets

Yes, it seems a good example of a fairly simple 'what if' fantasy done very well. It feels like it has a lot of expansion potential, like Warhammer/40k

Adrian, quick board game question - do you have a view on the world building and lore of the newly released Trench Crusade?
