Intercept SBR on N-B?

@surfer

42429-Surfer-ITA-9.tsvg

Did not scramble to S. France because of the overwhelming odds.

42429-Surfer-ITA-9.tsvg

@surfer

I apologize for the delay. I had hoped to get to our game today but have a major work due. Will get to our game tomorrow.

@surfer

Let’s leave things as they are then. I’ll sacrifice the DD and TT to keep the Suez closed.

@surfer

It’s up to you; I am willing to play the game where obvious oversights are overlooked or not.l

@surfer

Oh shoot; forgot t move the German DD and TT in 100 to the safety of 97.

Uncle. Made a mistake implementing a new strategy in Round 1 and you exploited it effectively to put the Axis behind the 8-ball for the rest of the game. Congratulations and good luck in the next round of the POs.
