17L Playoffs -Pete (axis) vs Wittman (allies +35)

[-Pete]

No problemo! Agreed, your chances are looking better each round I think. I can’t believe I let you cut off my stalingrad mech and armour… made me panic and go in to russia with sub-optimal odds, and japan is feeling stretched thin. Gl with your surgery.

[Witt]

Thank you. Seeing the Consultant Tues 9am. Op will be Ties, Wed or Thursday. Then 2-3 weeks lying down motionless, so the retina does not redetach. Soukds like weeks of fun ahead!

[Witt]

Morning!
I saw the Consultant today and he says the reattachment surgery was a success. I am still recovering and cannot see straight, but hope to begin playing again within 3 weeks. I will keep you posted. Hope that  id okay.

[-Pete]

of course. thanks for the update. I’m glad everything’s going smoothly for ya.

[Witt]

Morning. Thank you for your patience. I am still seeing blurred with the operated eye, but have spent 10 mins looking at our map. I sort of feel like I could do my go slowly, if you fancied having a look at Japan.
I hope you have been well.

[-Pete]

Sure thing. Glad you’re on your way to a solid recovery. Japan comin’ up shortly

[Witt]

Thank you for your kind  words.
I feel bad holding up Majikforce. If I am not up to it, I will say so and concede.
Am bored senseless not playing and have been looking one eyed! ( Probably not the best idea.)

[-Pete]

It must be like a big itch you couldn’t scratch!

Japan calls for a second cup of coffee. Should be posting a turn in half an hour

[majikforce]

Fellas,
Please do not feel bad about “holding me up”.  Pete knows how slow I can be at times :-D.  Take all the time you need to properly play this game.  May the best man win!  Wishing you a speedy recovery Wittman!!

[Witt]

Thanks Majik. I can’t help feeling like I do, though. I hate wasting people’s time.
I am fine and very relaxed about things. I am hlad I got to play and chat to you  Pete. I love playing the Allies amd always hope of winning with them, so this game is just where I like it: could go Either way.
