So I guess I didn’t read the Vichy thing well….Knowing what I know now, Intentionally sacking 2 FTR, 1 Tac, and 1 Bomber is suicide for Europe for the UK…I think i may have to call it quits on this…

[Gargantua]

I will humbly accept your surrender - so long as you feel you have learned something important.

Tell you what, let’s keep this capitulation in “reserve”;  I need 8 games to be in the playoffs this year, if I need an 8th I’ll ask for a report on or around Dec 31st lol.  If I make 8 outside of this, then we’ll call it the Mallery Mulligan and move along.

Work for you?

It’s a shame to, because I was hoping to have my Med fleet eat up your airplanes as well, but yes, definitely taking it on the cheek on this…I don’t have a problem reporting it, but let me know if you still don’t want me too…I’m always up for a more informed rematch…I don’t like quitting, but I overly fucked myself on this one too…

I would have definitely not brought that FTR from England South…and I would have just landed in Crete…oh well  :|

Hold off for now - let’s see where the chips lie towards the end of the year!  If I need the game I will generously request posting :)

In the meantime - play a few more games and get up to speed, you’re just a little rusty is all :)  Then we’ll dance again in January for 2018L;
