Operation Dark Skies JamesAleman(axis) vs Allweneedislove

james it looks like you got almost everything right.
you did the bids correctly and got our emails and game i.d.s correct.

however you are using an old version of triplea. you need to download triplea 1.7.0.3 you can get it here
http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki

when you get the new version i will scramble from scotland. i will also scramble just the french fighter from london.

you also did not attack with the sub in sz117. i am not sure if that was part of your strategy, but thought i would mention it incase you forgot to move it.

i am very open to edits, so if we forgot to make a noncombat move please feel free to edit if i have not  done my turn yet, and i hope you will mind if i do the same.

@JamesAleman:

Not sure why it didn’t post the map, I got the dice emails, did you?

I hit twice in z111 before retreating, I took off your destroyer, but you may choose another if you like.

with you attacking with 2 subs i think i would have kept the destroyer. should come in handy to take out your lingering subs.

@JamesAleman:

Also, while at work, I authorize Andy to reply for me (since I won’t be near a computer) after he fills me in by phone. Auswanderersland is his name or something like that.

sounds good
