As you can see,  I decided (as an afterthought) to strafe with India and it went rather well. Excuse my good luck.
Would you confirm you are happy with my not scrambling from the Carolines please?
Have a good day. Is my mum’s birthday and we are all going over there this evening. Should be the beginning of 3 very good days. Happy Christmas Jamie. I hope you have a great holiday celebration with your family.

Scrambling would have been pointless, I’m happy with what you did.

[Witt]

Thank you for your agreement. I did think hard on it. Did you see the batyle went two rounds anyway?
Was annoying not being able to snatch Manila. I meant to pick up an Inf in Hawaii on the way to Johnston Island. Stupid only have one Mech on that 3rd TT. Cost me 7 Income. Was too scared to leave the fleet off Honolulu, as you have 4 Air in SZ6.

Have a great few days, my friend. We are off to my mum’s any min.

[Degrasse]

Lol, same around the world.  Have to go see my mother and then my wife’s mother this evening.
