@Gamerman01:

@AlexGreat:

Will not get to my computer for a least 4 hrs from now, will post scrambling decision asap.

Strangely, I cant post this in the thread itself.

@AlexGreat:

so scramble away. Rememeber, you have to keep up a certain tradition with the UK navy.

OK, “4 hrs from now” would have been about 6 hours ago, so I am going to proceed even though I asked for another confirmation.  I did not want to rush you into a poor decision or anything, I just don’t like leaving moves hanging in the middle for too long and thought it was an easy decision.

So let’s see what the dice say now….

Well, a “misunderstandings” I get back as a quote.

Lets see, you repeatedly asked for my scrambling decision. First I told you I wont be at my computer before 4 hrs at least, but not much later after this answer, and after a few more messages, and after you summarized the units involved by PM, I told you to scramble away. I realize you then asked for confirmation again, which is certainly thoughtful, but was not necessary. I simply did not feel compelled to check messages or threads after that (and didnt want another great UK navy victory disturb my sleep), and only noticed your confirmation question and OOL my morning.

As to your handling of the battle, no objections. Pls lose the the AC, a sub and the DD.
