Vetkin vs. Capt. Chris AFRICA!

[Vetkin]

OK, the new game is about to start... My score so far with using the UK is 0-1. Another game with Frank W. is doing pretty well but its too early to tell...

Now, for sweet revenge on Capt. Chris...

[Capt Chris]

I'm all purchased, just awaiting the return of email9.zip! You can bet that in this visibility, I won't have as many flame tanks.

Good luck.

[Vetkin]

Agh can you send me a message to derrickvillanueva@yahoo.com, I'm sorry, I erased all messages... send a msg so i can reply with the turn... Time to tame the Tigers!!

[Capt Chris]

You should have it.

[Vetkin]

OK, here we go! 1943... The time when the Brits start Operation Torch...sent u the turn...

LET'S GET IT ON!!!

[Capt Chris]

A massive onslaught of Airborne British troops jump right in the middle of my main deployment area. I wish I had been counting but I think I saw over 30 transport aircraft. Not a good day to be a British soldier I might add. Too bad I didn't buy any AAA or it could have been worse.

5 light armor(support) units destroyed as well as numerous airborne troops.

The Germans suffered very light casualties.

I spotted a couple tanks down range and I'm sure there are more to come. Let's see how this one pans out.

[Vetkin]

British commander wonders how his paratroopers fared... Sorry Capt. Chris, I'll be away from my computer for 1 1/2 to 2 days, I'll post ASAP when it gets back fully repaired

[Capt Chris]

NP. Talk to you then.

[Vetkin]

OK, I'm back, here we go...

British general gravely miscalculates the size of the enemy's rear defenses and paratroopers run amok behind enemy lines, like a chicken caught in a deadly and rapidly closing noose. An exceptional rifle squad attacks a half-track with a rifle grenade, exploding it and forcing the squad inside to disembark. This squad is then harrased by rifle and LMG fire. A forward observer is also killed.

To the front, Shermans race across the desert and take up positions under a hail of 88mm, 75mm and 50mm fire. Only one is damaged, hit up front with an 88mm shell, thank god range is still too great for an instant kill...

120mm german mortar throws my paratroopers in greater confusion... its starting to look like the scene from saving private ryan (its first 20 minutes)

Bloody Hell!

[Capt Chris]

Back in action.

Still trying to rid my rear ranks of those blasted Airborne infantry as well as setup a forward line for fighting those Shermans!

So right now I have a two front battle raging. Spotted numerous shermans last turn and took some pot shots. Got a few of them, but they are still a little hard to hit. Not really seeing much more than that.

[Capt Chris]

We still gonna try again? I am away this weekend, returning on Sunday. Opening day for bass season. (Yes I do have other interests)

Hopefully we are still playing a new game. Let me know.

[Vetkin]

Yup we are, sorry for the delay, had to catch up with accounting my business... such a big hassle... A tip for those who have businesses: HIRE AN ACCOUNTANT!!!

[Vetkin]

Tell me when you're back

[Capt Chris]

Hey I'm back!

Just an FYI, I am not going to be near my computer from July 4th until July 12th. We might want to make this next skirmish a small one so we can finish before I leave.

[Capt Chris]

Bump.

Vetkin, let's play after I get back from vacation. Should be around July 14th. See you then.
