Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

Having a remark towards NC movement of Wittmann.

Please hang on.

My German friend would like to beat you more quickly, so has asked me to amend my non coms.
I am at work, so he will do it, with my Japanese permission.
May you both die quickly!

There is no point in prolonging the pain.

I see a few things in your move I do not understand or can agree on, but such is my burden.

Alas the most crucial moves must be done, else the Allies will win again. (I think until now only Allies won here, right?)

I am open to discuss the moves made in later turns, so increase the learning potential for all involved. I know Wittmann doesn’t care for insight and new ways, but that doesn’t mean that PP and Cred have to follow that example.  :wink:

So if you want we can discuss tactics and strategy while we play.

@Elrood:

So if you want we can discuss tactics and strategy while we play.

That’s probably a good idea Seb. It will add to the learning process. But only if Mark is happy too.

If we are declaring our thinking (or lack of it) to you guys, will you be reciprocating?

Now going to look at whatever mess Leo has made of my Pacific position ……

@Private:

If we are declaring our thinking (or lack of it) to you guys, will you be reciprocating?

After looking up “reciprocating” I can respond with: “Yes, squire!” (does this makes sense? It sure sounds funny)

P.S. “Certainly” - I try to say with a more eloquent choice of words

@Elrood:

“Yes, squire!”

Your English is incredibly good Elrood. How did you learn that one?

His wife makes him watch Upstairs/Downstairs programmes.

@wittmann:

His wife makes him watch Upstairs/Downstairs programmes.

Wish it was like that. I stopped following Downton … is just to shallow for my taste. my wife keeps watching But is not so comfortable with English, hence she watches the German dubbed version…  :|

(FYI: in regular German TV EVERYTHING is dubbed. Every foreign movie / TV series … all of it.)

But I watch a lot of original TV shows via various Internet services (yay… new world) mostly US stuff (they are simply the best currently), but some UK shows as well. (Lately I started with Doctor Who… hehe)

Also… 12 years ago I spent a year in Australia … work and travel  :wink:
