XDAP-02 The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul vs The Headless Neds!

Silly luck in SZ111… Infrastructure and I aren’t big fans of big swings of the dice. I hope some comes back your way.

Mother Russia keeps an eye on all these battles in the Atlantic… why has Finland mobilized for our good German friends?  :-)

Good morning to our friendly opponents - who are apparently readers of Douglas Adams  :-)

Antholin has asked if he could rejoin our team - he recently took a hiatus to spend a good chunk of time in New Zealand - lucky guy! Infrastructure and I said absolutely yes. Antholin will be playing Russia starting turn 2.

Infrastructure will be US/China; Stalingradski will be UK/Anzac/France.

I’ve asked Antholin to PM you guys with his e-mail address for the dicey.

Thanks!

Good afternoon sirs. As Stalingradski said, I will be joining the Allied cause as the USSR. I look forward to a great game and best of luck to you all.

My e-mail address for the game is:  jgimli@gmail.com

Thank you.
