- Brouhaha 2022 -
March 19/20 Boutte, LA
Packed with just Tyler’s stuff.
Packed with all the stuff on the way down.
US Propaganda leaflets dispersed to the Japanese, this was at the Sullivan Brothers Museum in Waterloo, IA. Basically it’s saying the time is up for invasion of Japan’s home islands themselves with all the previously accomplished stepping stones along the way laid out. I had never seen this before.
USS Kidd museum. These are the battle medals of Adm Kidd who died aboard the Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Medal of Honor and Purple Heart among others. The USS Kidd was named after him.
USS Kidd
USS Kidd from the bow. Fletcher Class had five single mounted 5” dual purpose mains.
Tom’s Montana, a newly allowed proposed ship that was never completed. Currently 6.5 units 26 seconds, basically an improved West Virginia.
Rick’s Jamaica
Ted’s VDT.
Peter’s Erin
Mike T’s Scharnhorst (won best of scale).
Dirty’s Kongo
Wade’s Lutzow
Gerald’s Kongo
Brandon’s Liberte Pre-Dread completed by Bob and battled by Gerald who’s Kongo never made the water.
Ready for Battle
PPB Crew left to right: Mike (Seydlitz), Peter (Erin), Bob (Nagato), Tyler (Tiger), Andy (Nagato)
Truck pack for the way home. It’s difficult to appreciate how full this is based on the picture. We had all the stuff we brought plus several totes of John S’s stuff, his Scharnhorst, and 10 additional ships/hulls from Gerald.
Restaurant Across from the hotel (we didn’t stay at that one this year though) is now the Italian place we have our Sunday meal/awards at.
Completely unplanned
Most Feared Allied: Tyler (Tiger). For some reason it’s a women’s bowling trophy
10 new hulls to keep us busy: Ise, Utah, WV, Houston, Lutzow, convoy, Colorado, Derfflinger, Cleveland, Tiger
