X-DAP FINAL - Dairy(Qyrn?) vs. TeamBoldDutch - Game 1

[boldfresh]

i will allow the edit of the bomber to london.  please let me know how we will handle edits though because this violates the previous precedent of no noncombat edits after the post is made.  are you giving me one for the future or are we playing unlimited noncombat edits as long as no dice are rolled on the following turn yet?

[boldfresh]

tell you what cow - i guess we will proceed under the understanding that you are asking for a one time edit and that i am granting it with the understanding that i have a one time noncombat edit for our use (dutch or myself) whenever we wish, no questions asked.

I1 coming shortly.

[boldfresh]

i know you are not really concentrating until game 3 because you don’t have to win this one…  :wink:

[Omega1759]

Interesting start!

Very good G1, things could have gone terrible there. :wink:

oh you mean you don’t want to mention how germany can take gibraltar and lock the UK fleet in the med to die?  yeah, probably a good idea not to say that.

I think you’re forgetting something . . . like the 5 US transports ready to reopen Gibraltar.
