XDAP Final… eh, i mean, Semifinal - Allweneedishank vs. TeamBoldDutch

[boldfresh]

@Ancients:  we are
just too darn busy
doing nothing to post!

[boldfresh]

well, dutch has a full on crisis on his hands right now…  may not be posting today.  The move is completely ready, Dutch and i just have to discuss one minor technicality but we have been unable to connect all day (i know, sounds familiar right?).  i would just do the move for him but we disagree on this minor technicality and i think he would be pretty pissed if i did the move my way, even though i think he will eventually agree with me.  :-)

Don’t touch my troops B. Or my dice. If I have to put a restraining order on you I will.

I didn’t ask for scramble in z6 because it was moot.  No one would do that.

Also there is at least on AC in z6 free of planes so that the Anz planes can land on one emplty AC…. when its their turn.

[dutchmand]

If you do want to scramble in z6, let me know… happy to re-roll z6.

Well some folks certainly love themselves some Turkey.  I love carriers and subs.  Bold has a fettish for bombers that is really creepy.  Mentions them before every purchase.  Germans clearly have a sick fetish for mech here, also a little creepy.
