Scramble orders for SZ 97?

Come on dice!

[Witt]

Morning all. I think we have to send up 3 German Fts. Bar has not been on fro a week, so please scramble as I say, unless he gets on to say differently.
Good luck!

[legion386]

Sounds good.  I probably won’t be able to roll the dice until tomorrow or the next day anyway so that gives Bar a chance to chime in.

[Witt]

Guys: Bar has excused himself and informed me he will be out of action for two months, while he moves house and jobs.
I will try and find a replacement for him, as I am enjoying the challenge you two have thrown at us.
Enjoy your weekend both.

[Witt]

I have asked a friend here and he seems keen. Unfortunately, he is away for the weekend.
He said he will have a look at the map on his return.
If be feels he can’t get into the game or would rather start again, could we do that instead?

[majikforce]

Sure I’m game for whatever!  A fresh start would be nice but I don’t mind continuing to dig out of the mess I have created for myself. :-D

[Witt]

I think you two are doing fine. I have started awfully as Japan.

Nice win in 97. That has put paid to our chances in the Med.

[legion386]

Yeah we needed something to go our way in that theater.  Majik’s failed attempt at Gibraltar will surely haunt his dreams for many moons.
