11L '41 - Manstein (axis) v BoldFresh (Allies) Bid 6, +NOs, No Tech

[boldfresh]

the ripple effects of that finland battle and the z14 battle before it, even really all the way back to the z2 attack of your sub which survived, will be felt throughout this game for the allies.

and when you DID get a little bad luck in nin, you discovered the men that were killing you were ghosts…  :-P

anyway, we’ll see if i can survive the huge swings of the battles mentioned, man this has been brutal so far.

[Manstein]

that is an absurd battle. deranged. i appreciate your good humour. and sorry about the map. did it all in a hurry on way to work this morning.

given your luck, perhaps i should try to take caucasus with my single italian tank…

perhaps this is a joke too far. i am grateful you agreed to play
