I’m really miffed about this!

[Witt]

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.

[Gargantua]

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…

[Witt]

Hee Hee!
I will let you win.

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

Sorry abot the Edit. I forgot to move the SA DD again!
The TT I edited was as I wanted to move it in Non Combat, but forgot it needs to exit the hostile SZ before combat.
Only in the bloody rules!

Scotland went as planned. I was going to place the two Mech in SA, but bottled it, when Scotland went as it did.
Maybe Sealion is a long shot now. Do you think you can reverse and do Barbarossa? I have 20 units sitting uselessly in England tearing up the countryside doing exercises.
I think you look good in the Pacific.

Am enjoying playing a seasoned player. (Still do not feel very hopeful.)
Can I ask you how you feel? or do you always feel like you will win?

[Gargantua]

Scotland! WTF.  :x

[Witt]

You weren’t counting on those Bravehearts were you?
They are unreliable, untrustworthy and are forever falling over their skirts when they run.

[Gargantua]

England is still going to fall.  I have no fear.

[Witt]

Thank God. Have not scrimped and saved my 26 IPCs so  I can spend them.
They are yours. Come and get them!

I would also hate to think I have squandered my hard earned income on 16 fresh units that will never get to defend their hearth and homeland.
That would irk me.
Bring it on Adolf.
