Speedy vs Nikademus - Nik Mod 4.0

[DuckofTindalos]

Notice how Nik's not logged on at the moment? He's crying into his latte...

[Speedysteve]

No squirming out of this one Dumbass. I kicked it fair and square[:'(][;)]

[Mike Solli]

Very nice hitting him at 5 hexes.

[Mynok]

I was about to make snide remarks about his toothless Kates until he said that! [:'(]

[Speedysteve]

Say that to Saratoga who had more bombs in her than the Schweinfurt Kugelfischer Plant did during the entire war[;)]

[Nikademus]

disapointing.

I actually anticipated that Speedy was heading to Normeau and postioned my carriers in response to it. Unfortunately i'd forgotten about the range 5 tactic (which appears to prevent carrier reaction) I recall Rroberson getting killed in similar fashion recently.

[:D] Another of those laugh out loud at work moments. Fortunately there're only a couple of people here to look at me like I have two heads.[:D]

I think he holds the record for the number of ways he has lost his carriers.[:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

Yeah, that record isn't under threat...[:D]

[Nikademus]

Don't know about that anymore. I lost 4 CV's against Bombur too...similar but not exactly the Range 5 tactic.

[Mike Solli]

Look on the bright side Nik. You'll be getting 8 brand spanking new Essexes........eventually.

[Speedysteve]

I'll be drinking Mocha's in Seattle by then Mike

[Mike Solli]

Speedy, will this influence your near term plans? You know victory disease and all that...

[Speedysteve]

It sure will Mike. Before the target was Brisbane. Now it's Auckland

[Mike Solli]

Wow, that's sort of spread out. You gonna stay or just visit?

[Speedysteve]

Depends how good the women are there

[Mynok]

In Auckland? Don't the women have white fur and long noses there? Or am I confusing it with Wales? [:D]

[Rob Brennan UK]

Nice one Speedy.

HEHE mynok .. welsh women have wolly coats and go bahhh

[Speedysteve]

Hi all,

As expected after the last climatic couple of days these are much quieter. KB is retiring to refuel and then we have some fun [8D]

--------------

Over the past 2 days Singkep Island, Toboali and Dili, on Timor are taken.

--------------

No real air actions other than B17's from Noumea trying to bomb Shokaku, near Luganville, returning to IJN waters for a bit of repair.

--------------

An I-boat had some fun on 28th probably sinking AK Vermont 1/3 of the way from PH to San Francisco. Here's the action:

Sub attack at 119,62

Japanese Ships
SS I-27

Allied Ships
AK Vermont, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage


Allied ground losses:
79 casualties reported
Guns lost 1

[Nikademus]

as Expected......

pffff....

Sorry...... don't have another 4 carriers to offer up as sacrificial meat to your RANGE 5 EXPLOIT.

Axis Fanboy nonsense i say. I wasn't to blame! I'll get em next time. [:'(]
