Bit annoyed that I saw too late that you had a DD in my blocking SZ for Carolines. Liked keeping you Out of there!

20effijng 5 swing. Did you not bombard? I always keep two, so as to prevent that. Has your fleet moved in? Will look later, as am off. Did uou land all 8 units, without any cover? Or was there Air in the SZ?

@wittmann:

20effijng 5 swing. Did you not bombard? I always keep two, so as to prevent that. Has your fleet moved in? Will look later, as am off. Did uou land all 8 units, without any cover? Or was there Air in the SZ?

Yes - used all 8 land units and some air. Your AA missed.

Fleet has moved in. Could have done it in combat to preclude a scramble, but assumed I had and did not scramble your air. It was a lazy shortcut that cost me any bombard, but I was feeling cocky! Hope that is okay?

Need to go now - we have guests tonight - so will look at ANZAC tomorrow.

[Witt]

You should have gone in, because I could have sunk the TTs and scrambling to prevent the Bombard, mY have damaged a Battkeship, which I might have sunk with my counter arrack.

[Private-Panic]

I suppose a good rule is to always avoid any lazy shortcuts. :-)

Happy to do it all again and scramble your fighters instead. Just say the word.

[Witt]

You are a gentleman. Don’t worry. Am annoyed at myself that I did not block, like I did last turn. I rush your goes most of the time.
Am finding it hard to play, as Al wants more help with Raf. Both of them are under the weather today.
Enjoy your evening.

[Witt]

You need some little ray of hope. Perhaps, I have inadvertently given you half a chance!

[Witt]

I also feel for Dukla. He keeps having to play the oldies at 42 and he is crying out for soe. 1914 action. I would play.

It’s up to you and Mark!

[Private-Panic]

@wittmann:

I looked at whether you could block again when I did the US on the previous turn and did not think you could. Perhaps I was wrong.

[Private-Panic]

@wittmann:

Now all I need is the other half a chance and I’ll be happy. See what you can do, there’s a good chap! :wink:
