Morning.
Your turn to bite your nails and decide if you can alter a battle by scrambling.
Am not happy leaving you a Sub on the map, but must ensure your Battleship sinks.
I will tell you now that I do not know how to counter successful  a Sealion. I am a Russia man.

[Gargantua]

That is cock!
Might mean I beat you. That would be a result for the newbee
.
Glad we are playing. As I said I have no idea how to counter Sealion, so is a learning experience for me. Hope you do not chicken out and go Barbarossa.
You can’t not take England, in my opinion.
Hope you like what I am doing in Africa. Annoyed I forgot to move my SA DD to Suez. Probably would have been same result.
How are your chicken Italian Infantry enjoying the heat and flies in Italian Somaliland? I hear it is a shit hole even now.

Maddy is asleep, so do not expect my three goes until tomorrow morning. Enjoy your evening Garg.

I don’t know if I buy this “newbie” business.

You seem to have an idea of what you are doing so far, atleast on a comparable level.  It’s not like some of these other guys I am playing…

Still haven’t decided if I am going to be aggressive or defensive and boring in the Pacific. Which would you prefer?
