Sorry marky

Huge slabs of Combat reports like you just posted are not AARs - who would bother to read that!.
The funny insults are good - but whats really happening in your game -would'nt have a clue.

This is not a flame -its just you did ask why do you bother to write AARs -( obviously wondering why nobody comments).
tell us whats happening briefly -keep insulting your opponent as you do, and drop the combat reports -Im sure its a very fun game -hidden in there somewhere!
big seas, fast ships, life tastes better with salt
