The Great...Great White Fleet selloff

[Storywriter J. Allen]

When I started the Great White Fleet it was an experiment into wet navy unit play. I feel like I've had my fun. I got to portray some naval battles and write some ocean going posts and portray some amphibious warfare. I've also become heavily involved in a World of Warships Clan a friend started. So I'm getting my wet navy fun over there and spending a lot more time on WoWS than I expected when I started GWF.

I always imagined a plan B for the unit. Conversion to a space navy-focused unit. Keeping the unit name, logo, even CO character. Utilizing the funds I've accrued, and selling everything but the unit's Aurora-class dropship. Which should give me enough funds to buy a Gorgon or Achilles dropship and work on building a space navy unit akin to the canon Medusans.

I'm particularly interested in running some joint contracts eventually. Something that was very difficult to even contemplate with a wet navy unit.

So in addition to the separate BattleMech sale on this forum. This sale is now active. Will consider any offers at or above 55% of list price (willing to consider 51% for the Rapier). Ships from Elgin in the Free Worlds League. You cover all shipping and insurance expenses.

I'm not sure how long this sale will last. I'm doing this conversion in stages alongside IC writing depicting the unit's destruction in battle and rebirth via support from outside interested parties. If there's something you are really interested in, but need to wait a while before you can buy it, let me know and maybe we can work something out.

I'd like to buy your Infantry and maybe of your transportation assets, but I won't be able to have cash-on-hand until after I turn in my current contract. Expect full details in the next couple of days.

[Storywriter J. Allen]

Do you have an estimate on when that would be? Ballpark.

Earliest is tomorrow; probably no later than next Friday, but it'll be on Mod time.

I can probably make some purchases now; I'll take a look at my budget and what I'd like to buy.

[Storywriter J. Allen]

Oh that's fine. I was half expecting you to say...April. Or something. Having not looked at the current/ongoing contract info.

Yeah, in no rush.

Sold to the gentleman from Eden's Guard.

Updated the original post. All that's left is the Rapier. Which I'm still willing to sell for as little as 51% of list price.

[Storywriter J. Allen]

I'm about ready to move on to the next stage with my unit. So last call on this sale. I'll probably end it in about a week's time.

[Storywriter J. Allen]

Ok, the silence is deafening. So this sale is closed.

Packing up and leaving this space. I think an Easter store is moving in after me. MMmmmm....chocolate.
