Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood


  • Are we really doing this silliness again, with the U.K. being played by another player? The game is slow enough, with Cred’s work commitments. Can’t we have these three Allies as you, PP?
    Cred, what do you think?


  • I was looking forward to playing the UK. Just about to go on paternity so hopefully work commitments shouldn’t be a problem.

    Hopefully ok?

    Cred


  • Okay.
    Have you had a child then?


  • Imminently. Due date is 5th….  :-)

    Relax Leo. :-) This split (between Seb and I) didn’t cause any delays to our last game that I remember.

  • Very unlucky, Cred. Just 3 hits is awful.

    Very unlucky, Cred. Just 3 hits is awful.

    First questionable Jap non combat move, now you console the enemy. I think the poor German is will being left by his allies rather soon.  :oops:  :cry:


  • Blimey! Terrible luck Cred. :-o

    Then Egypt goes! :cry:

    Seb - I think we will now need Japan’s help so do join us … please … :oops:

  • 2024 '22 '19 '17 '15

    “Blimey” ??

    Leo just used that in whats app…
    Never heard that before.  :?


  • Uou can’t use that word here: it was our secret. Now they know.

    Talk about the kettle calling the WOP black: you have dementia too, PP; I am Japan, not Seb.


  • Clearly it is infectious and I have spent far too much time with you Leo.

    Blimey is a shortening of the medieval “God blind me” Seb. Good to know that we are educating you.


  • I wasn’t; apparently you are! I was leaving him in the dark about that cool and historic expletive.

  • 2024 '22 '19 '17 '15

    Eh…  :|

    I thought you’d be glad helping me to climb the apples and pears to become a real master of the English…
