Wow. Some luck there!

So if you accept the challenge, post your scramble orders now!

[Jercules]

Just to be clear, this is a normal game--if the Moscow blitz looks to be failing, I may swing west, or do something else entirely. Something to keep in mind...

[wheatbeer]

If you don't mind playing me again, I'll give it a shot.

I will scramble in SZ110 (if you accept)

[Jercules]

Hey, my old friend! Thank you, would be glad to play you once more.

OOL will be cruisers and damage to bsh (you probably assumed as much)

Was just musing about that very fact as I contemplated continuing this fiasco. Retreat (subs, 1 tac/f pair lost).
