Google just keeps giving me recipes for cottage pie. What do I call delicious stew topped with mashed potatoes?
(I KNOW IT'S NOT SHEPERD'S PIE SO DON'T EVEN GO THERE.)
Opened up a bottle of cab yesterday because my family came over for a cocktail to see my new house but only me and my mom had a glass. It's a decent cab but nothing spectacular so I just want to cook with it at this point.
I've made both coq au vin and beef Bourgogne but at this point, I wanna see what else i can do with it.

I know we all HATE the “What premium should I buy” posts, and I’m sorry in advance. However, since steel purchases really feel like a once a year’ish (maybe) currency, I am super torn between only the Bourgogne and Austin. I’d really appreciate community feedback and your experiences if you captain these ships.
I enjoy both Ship play styles a lot, but this game also changes so much. I just don’t want to make a choice I’d regret. Just looking for friendly suggestions.
With the new CB season in play as well as ranked battles being ongoing, I am approaching my next steel purchase. I already own and enjoy Stalingrad quite a bit as it has been a staple for long. Though I am looking to get into battleships more. Tech tree wise, I own the Montana, Vermont, Kremlin and Republique. I also own the JB which is quite similar to Bourgogne.
So the question is, for competetive game modes (rank & CB) Which of the two would you recommend and why?
I haven't played Japanese BBs, but I have quite a bit of experience of fighting against them. I have played a lot of French and enjoy their playstyle.
The king is Charles as he is in his mid 40s and got a teen girl as an heir somehow despite not having one this whole time. Does she prevent me getting Burgundian inheritance or does her being a woman still cause the event to fire?

| Vintage Sailor 1911 standard | $200 OBO shipped | S-M - rare 14k soft medium | [C+] signs of use, similar to most used vintage pens, visible scratches, but nothing deep and no cracks or functional problems. Writes great, classic Sailor feedback. | This is the 1911 Standard, not the Large. This nib is quite rare and has not been made in at least 30-40 years. I actually think the pen is in pretty good shape for this era of 1911's. The trim is largely unremarkable. |
| Platinum 3776 Century Sai - Limited and discontinued Edition - numbered on cap: 1518/3K | $220 shipped | 14k - Broad - Rhodium plated | [B+] Some signs of use, comes with the cart a converter and the box. Hard to let go of this one. | Interesting and unique 3776, but I am liquidating almost all of my pens. The most transparent 3776 Platinum has ever made, it is quite satisfying to see the slip n seal work so clearly. See Here for the nibs.com ad for the pen. |
| Platinum 3776 Carnelian - North American Exclusive | $150 shipped | 14k - Broad - Rhodium plated | [B+] Very few if any signs of use, comes with the cart a converter and the box. Bought new, inked once. | Another interesting and unique 3776. Originally bought it with the intention of swapping nibs with the Kumpoo, but that never happened. |

I believe BBs no longer get Super Int so Bourg only has 2 speedboosts and 3 Reload boosters now (iirc)
I have enough steel for Stalin, and in 2 weeks should have enough for Bourg.
Help me not regret my decision
Well following my first guide featuring Thunderer i decided to showcase my favourite tier 10 BB,the french battleship Bourgogne.
You thought Thunderer is the most powerful BB but...
Is Bourgogne a Jojo reference?
This ship has been often overlooked and misplayed despite ranking number 1 in terms of win rate and damage among all the other tier 10 battleships in the game,it was the ship with highest average damage in the game untill FDR appeared.
Introduction
Bourgogne was the 4th planned Alsace class battleship of the Marine Nationale of France,alongside Alsace, Flandre and Normandie. In World of Warships it feautres Alsaces No 3 design(3x4 380mm guns),(correct me if i am wrong)and you can currently obtain it for 30 000 **Steel.**Most of the ship is identical to it's tier 9 sister however it uses the French 127mm guns as it's secondaries unlike the 100mm ones found on Alsace. In my opinion this ship is the most versatile battleship in the game(currently) and the funniest of them all.If there are any captains struggling to play her i hope this guide can help you. :D
Parameter Analysis
Let's take a look of what is in store for you once you get the ship.
- Survivability(94)
- Bourgogne sits at the lowest HP pool of all tier 10 Battleships at 74 700 points,lower than Thunderer's and Conqueror's 82 900 points.
- You have an impressive torpedo protection of 44% putting this ship at the higher end in terms of torpedo protection only beaten by Kremlin's 46% and Yamato's/Shikishima's 55%.
You are one of the squishiest ships at tier 10.
- Artillery(95):Main Battery

- Bourgogne has Alsace's 12 380mm guns placed in Three Quadruple turrets, two in the front,one in the back however with greatly improved values.
- Bourgogne has 1.8 Sigma value which means that your shots will be more consistent,this value is better than Alsace's pre nerf sigma of 1,7.However your gun accuracy will still troll you at times.(NOTE:Sigma value does not influence the dispersion radius of your guns just how consistently the shells will go towards the middle of the radius!)
- With all benefits applied your main battery reload is reduced to 24,6 seconds which makes the Bourgogne the **12-
The mod flair speaks for itself :)
Christmas, ranked and Hizen have endowed me with a nice chunk of steel and, with the coupon, I could afford Bourgogne (have Stalingrad already). I know she is fast and has an impressive toolkit for a BB, but I’m worried because of one thing: Thunderer.
It’s Thunderer meta on EU right now, and 3-5 per game is common. I’m part of the problem, and in my experience Bourgogne has no real counter to Thunderer - Thunderer can sit with 8 guns firing away with HE to devastating effect, while the French vessel can’t do much in return due to its low calibre guns.
Bourgogne owners, how have you coped with the Thunderer spam? Is Bourgogne still the top (non-CV) steel pick?
