Canuck12 (Axis) vs. Gargantua (Allies +12) G40 WITH TECH!

[Gargantua]

I would love both of those two!!!

Maybe next turn. :)

[Canuck12]

And I love how it just so happens that you never bothered to build even one tactical bomber, thus not wasting a single ipc…

I’m starting to get suspicious…

Would you like to use Suicide Tokens off of the Philippines? And if so - how many?

1 dst vs your lone transport.

[Gargantua]

Kyle,

In lieu of your heroic assistance with Mr. Bear… I have been thinking.

At the end of this month I am going to the Conservative Party of Canada Convention, at which will be many ‘powers’ of the country - including big H.

I have been fortunate enough to be invited to a very private dinner, and will likely get the opportunity to speak with big H, and ask some questions, or convey one or two ideas.

It seems only fair to me - that those ideas may as well be your own, should there be something of particular pressing interest that you feel he should be made aware of, reminded of, or convinced otherwise on?

Now I’m not promising some world of change or anything… but if there’s one thing you want him to get challenged on, or reminded of, or pressed on… whatever it may be.  Share that with me via PM, and I will do my utmost to ensure the message is conveyed clearly.

It is truly an honor to be able to call you my friend, and it would give me great pleasure to do this regardless.

[Canuck12]

Take the tt. Ill let you know about harper. :-)

I wonder what those ‘crafty’ Germans are going to get themselves up to…

[Canuck12]

Hmm. Didn’t see that business off of Hawaii.

Touché.

[Canuck12]

Long day at work and still fighting a cold.

ie: Don’t have the brain power to crank this one out. I’ll hit it up tomorrow.

How is Mr Bear?

[Gargantua]

@Canuck12:

Hmm. Didn’t see that business off of Hawaii.

Touch�.

Again some good but also poor play on my part, what I should have done is move up the acc/dst with an American fighter on it next to the Anzac one.

Then the Anzac fighters could strafe, with one landing on the carrier and the other on Guam, and of course - if I lost one, I would still have 2 fgts on the carrier.

Lucky for me, the destroyer missed, or I would have been at substantially more risk.  It all worked out in the end. Lol we are so rusty…

Anyways - looking fwd to your post tomorrow.

As for Mr. Bear - he is doing incredible!  The tumor was the size of a baseball… and is 99% removed.  Now he’s on to radiation therapy over the next 5 weeks.  Fortunately he is staying in Pullman with a veterinary student (4th year) who is doing her next rotation into oncology, and will be Mr. Bear’s healthcare provider.  Her husband is also a Neuro Biologist - which of course is also good news for Bear.

So in short he is living mile down the road from the hospital (which is one of the best in the world), staying in a home with other animals, surrounded by rolling green hills (right out of a fairy tale), with a white picket fence.

He’s become a case study down there, and is very popular with the students!  Just recovery is what is in order now.

I’m Looking forward to picking him back up when this is all over.

[Gargantua]

[Canuck12]

Glad to hear he’s on the mend. Sounds like he’s in very good hands.
