War has been declared

So far…

[dawgoneit]

suprise attack told me a while back that you were a silent player.
all good play on. :-)

[FMErwinRommel]

No moves from the Americans.  My moves must have flummoxed them.  I like the sound of that.  The word of the week is now flummoxed.  You must use it in your postings.

I am enjoying the Japanese strategy of “I’m making $80 a turn” looking over at Germany/Italy and then saying “And what are you doing?!”

i was doing very well.
and then.
i all ready no i’m not very good at this game.
thank you.

[dawgoneit]

suprise attack works 2 jobs.
he might be busy.

[FMErwinRommel]

I have confidence that my European allies will break out now that the U.S. has put all of its builds in the Pacific.  They have done a good job of tying up your forces

[dawgoneit]

sorry guys.
i can get a little hot headed some times.
i am all ways on steroids because of medical reasons (stabe 3 C.O.P.D.)
and i get a little out of hand.

I was never bothered or offended?  we’ve got an amazing dance happend on the eastern front, sooner or later the bubble is going to pop though.  I would have been screwed if your bomber luck had not run out!  And even still, it’s your $55+ vs my $40- and all the additional units you have coming barreling down my way! Showdown in Ukraine!

[FMErwinRommel]

If Ger doesn’t break thru quickly, then it takes a while for its cash advantage to break thru or the Allies come up from the mideast and make it impossible.  We"ve all been there.  But with China and India captured and Japan pushing on, Brit and the U.S. aren’t likely to send in massive support thru the Caucasus.  So slowly build up and hang in there Dawg.

[Gargantua]

Throw all-in dawg! And break on through to the other side!

Germany:  Please send those secret advanced weapons that we see all the time on the history channel.  But don’t wait until April 1945 to send them.  Thanks. Sincerely, the nefarious and dastardly, Tojo

That was one tough DD at Celebs

[FMErwinRommel]

Two gallant dd’s restored the honor of the IJN by facing overwhelming odds.  One dd was hit 9 times by 15 of the enemy and still managed to take their dd down with it.  The other dd shot down 2 bombers and saved itself and the tt that it was protecting.  The Americans have finally decided to build cv’s for their planes.  But they still are no match for the Kido Butai (mobile force).  Perhaps this will lead to the culmination of the modern version of the Decisive Battle doctrine (Kantai Kessen), relying on CVs more than BBs.
