PeePee is sitting this one out in his Portugese vineyard.

 

That's my report. How are you doing?

I am better.... sorta. I feel I have the time to have a 2nd attempt at Victory. 77 Being my first game, I did learn a lot thanks to my allies and obviously, I still have a lot to learn.

 

Thank you to those that responded :ph34r:

Just to clarify and update your report.

 

Can SR and NR honestly be "at each others throats"? The skirmishes are all in Northern Russia. I would think its fairer to say Southern Russia is holding Northern Russia's throat . Whats he down to now; 4 or 5 cities of consequence? Should he ever capture say 20 or 25 cities near the Southern Russia border perhaps we could say he is "at my throat".

 

I would also add that Syria/Southern Russia are bombing all Candanian ships that move in Scandnavia.

Strange thing about the Canadian fleet, it doesn't make a single move without hordes of minesweepers. Over a hundered Canadian minesweepers are in Norwegian waters (Most of which have been sunk recently, however) and at least one fleet of Minesweepers sports its own Admiral! Whats this paranoia about mines about??? A Portugese influence perhaps?

 

I don't know how Portugal Paul extends such an influence so far from his homeland but I tip my hat to you, Sir!. Your legend as a minelayer continues to grow!

Semantics, semantics, semantics....

And bombing our surplus fleets won't do you any good, but yes, you are sinking some obsolete ships. It just saves us the order to scuttle them!

 

We overreacted 'a bit' when we discovered mines in the channel and now we have those minesweepers with nothing to do. So why not use them as a distraction for you bombers so our useful ships won't be attacked by them... :drunk:

 

But you are right... So now the picture is complete?

I think it is pretty close but of course these sort of things are always a bit fuzzy. Perhaps you could give us a better/sharper viewpoint when you get the latest results from your Danish friend. Given all the spies he has available he surely must be able to provide a very clear view of the world.

 

I'm sure most Europeans would agree that it must be very difficult to run a North American country without input from the Danes!

You telling us your sweepers have nothing to do.

Icelands must be busy.

If you want something to do I'll arrange for a little excitement for for your sweeper capitains.

Enough for you to think about bringing those lazy sweeper capitains out of retirement.

Ok peeps how many turns are left in this game? and who in the opinion of those still left is on the winning side?

 

Just curious - I hope Iceland got what was coming to him - A traitor like him does not deserve to win

Hi Spart.

You know after being in this game from the start I don't have a clue who's in front.

I think the Canadyank axis thinks they are in front.

Who know's?

Who cares?

I have to agree with Miraeng. It does appear that the US and Icelandic Minesweepers should have plenty of work to do.

 

I had a bomber force with a severe navigation problem find itself over xReykjavik and they discovered these newly arrived Queen Mary's:

 

DEFENDER STARTING FORCES

 

15th Squadron

Ship Name Experience % Effective Ship Name Experience % Effective

Queen Mary, AP-11 Line 76% Queen Mary, AP-20 Line 93%

Queen Mary, AP-30 Line 93% Queen Mary, AP-48 Line 98%

 

 

It would appear to be a substantial amount of mine damage. The sweepers are not doing their job!

Yet again I remain impressed by Miraeng's minelaying prowess!

 

My bombers could not not issue a better report on why these QM's were so banged up but decided that all four of them should be dispatched too a quick reconnaissance mission of the xReykjavik harbor floor.

 

Perhaps my bombers can find their way back to xReykjavik this turn and report on any other Icelandic ships that return home holed by mines.
