Welcome back! I was afraid some game-ending glitch had shown up with Fremen's mod. About Tobruk: Pauk is gonna need a bigger stick[:D]

[pauk]

Pauk is bringing a bigger stick there, i can assure you![;)]

But, i don't know how to play against ruthless and covardly black hearted Englander, i admit! He bombarded Paleohora where my heavily damaged Andrea Doria pumping out the water. Of course she was hopeless against Brits and sunk[:(]...

Hey, in my book we call that unfair and non-gentelmen play, ENglander! We Germans and our Italian friends prefers chevallier-style of play![:D]

[Andy Mac]

How bad is the flak trap over Malta pauk ?

[Speedysteve]

In standard Mod pretty poor............as in no real flak trap

[Andy Mac]

Ouch not very historic then ....

[Speedysteve]

Nope. Just like Stock WiTP. Our Nik Mod version is much deadlier................

[pauk]

hi Andy and Speedy

Speedy is quite right... NIK is soo deadly...not that i'm complain...

been very busy these days and hoped that would be history...but complications continues and i will have very little free time in next 5 or so days. So please be patient guys with turns!

[Nikademus]

in case you two missed it....version 1.0 is available now at the Spook's place.

[Speedysteve]

Saw it bud but due to time constraints we're continuing as is..............

Pffft Pauk. You got what you deserved. You just fail to admit you're being outclassed at sea dramatically by my skills and my superior ROYAL NAVY.

The attached intel screen shows you're losing in planes too.....in time you will lose on the ground as well.......

[Speedysteve]

A fairly quiet day in the Med. Nice raid by me on Heraklion torched 11 x 109's on the ground.

[Capt. Harlock]

Quite a delay from the last update. You must have been on pins and needles waiting for the results of your bombardment TF. Now the question is how to get more supplies to the lads in Tobruk . . .

[Speedysteve]

Hi Capt.
 
RL is busy for both of us unfortunatly preventing a lot of 'turnage' here.
 
Not overly concerned on the bombardment run to Crete. His mearest airfields (Heraklion) had recently been pounded by 4E.
 
Tobruk - I have plans here but can't say too much[;)] If you want to know more then PM me.
