Life has been getting overwhelming lately - will play when I’m able, thank you

I’m sorry I have to delay more - yesterday my back flared up and I am having massive pain and problems moving. Have an appointment this afternoon and then a massage tomorrow morning - just trying to get back in action.

@gamerman01 I was just about to reach out and see how it was looking. Back issues are no joke, take care of yourself and we look forward to Japan’s very difficult turn when you have time :)

@gamerman01 Wanted to check in and see if you are ok?

Thank you, Drake!! I really appreciate the kind sentiments. I just got home from an appointment and we have a new revelation - it seems to have been a kidney problem this whole time. Easy for me to overlook the organs because I have had many years of sporadic and sometimes major, back pain. Muscular or spinal column or what have you, so that is always my first suspect.

Anyway, I have immediately begun taking the treatment for kidney bacteria or kidney stone, and we expect it to have a big effect in as little as 2 days. A lot of things make sense now, and it’s a big load off my mind. If this treatment doesn’t help, we’ll reassess.

It was really hard not knowing when it was ever going to get better, and I feel bad leaving 3 guys in the lurch, but am glad I can finally give you a report.

@gamerman01 just happy to hear you are on the mend. Take your time the game is not going anywhere.
Best

Much appreciated

Kind sirs -
Feeling much better the past couple of days and getting some of the most urgent work done at home, thank goodness. Going to job site tomorrow. Need to keep my clients from getting jittery first, then can re-visit our awesome and intense game. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

@gamerman01 so happy to hear my friend. We will be here waiting when your on the mend:)

Hope you are feeling better. I will be out of town next week. Hope to continue soon my friends:)

Thank you very much for the update. I am feeling well enough to work every day, so my morale is a lot higher! I am getting caught up pretty quickly, but have big days with long commutes so tend to wind down with a movie or the PS4 on weeknights. But soon, on a weekend most likely, I will have the time and energy to play Japan. It’s a testament to how tough you guys are playing, FWIW :) Thanks for the patience and understanding

I got caught up on work and sleep - taking 2nd look at this challenging move tonight, thanks again

Scramble to zone 56?
Thanks

@gamerman01 None to sea zone 56
Scramble to 47 against your 1 sub.

In 47 I’m attacking your sub with my own sub and destroyer
I thought you couldn’t scramble because you have no surface warships in 47, correct? Does your decision for 56 remain as no scramble?
