@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
