Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Credulous]

Taranto result was desperately unlucky.

All talk of fighters being stranded etc was essentially moot when the first round combat result was 1 hit (from 7 or 8 if I recollect correctly) vs 4 hits for Axis. As PP points out I sent in the extra fighter to make sure and still lost. Crazy.

When we eventually lose as a result of this deeply unbalancing event in turn 1 I will of course make repeated reference to it.

:-D

[Witt]

I should hope so too!

[Elrood]

We are waiting for UKs move…  (Like we wait for official brexit statement)…

and wonder if it will ever come (that too)

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Elrood]

Sorry for the repeatiness of my jokes, but you surely took the blue pill and now must pay the music.  :roll:

Elrood

[Private-Panic]

Without looking at the link Seb, I am guessing this is a reference to The Matrix?

Now that I know that you inhabit a digitally created parallel universe you are beginning to make much more sense …… :lol:

[Elrood]

regardless the level of reality of the current universe… I am still eager to move and want to see UK mooooooove.  :wink:

[Private-Panic]

I just heard - Sophie Evelyn Westbrook was born last night!

Mark did tell his wife to hold on while he took his UK turn, so as to keep Elrood happy, but she failed to comply. I understand he is yet to forgive her! :-D

[Elrood]

Thats the spirit! :-D

Congrats to the proud father and my best regards to the growing family.

In lieu of a upcoming UK move I will kill the time by continuing my sharply formulated Brexit taunts. Addressing mostly the immigrant here who voted for it. :-P

Anyways… glad to see that Sophie not only announced but successfully conduct her “Westbrexit”  :roll:

…

I love you guys.  :lol:

[Witt]

Great news. Congratulate him please.

Elrood: I don’t get a vote in this great country, more’s the pity.

[Elrood]

Wait? Are not a citizen?

[Elrood]

Damn it… I hate it that you cannot edit a post! I should be more careful WHILE writing… not after sending…  :oops:

[Witt]

I am Italian .

[Private-Panic]

Westbrexit! Good one! :-D
