So, turn received yet? "taps foot"

Nothing yet. I guess there are some big decisions to be made! Hopefully because of what is about to be discovered at Wake and just over the horizon. [;)]

I've just heard from Torsten that is may be Sunday before a turn arrives. Understandable as he said usually he's been doing some quick ones, even several a day, but this will take a bit more work. That he can't do until the weekend.

You see, that is the advantage of being an armchair admiral.. You can postpone decision making :P... In war, real time ticking away that is not so easy...

I hope you made an alternate save so you can plan strategy...make to do lists...or simply catch mistakes in your last turn![:D]

I did. These next few turns could alter so much though it's tough to be focused on those things now.

True, but a real admiral doesn't have a "day job"!

Still waiting. He said in his note that he's in the middle of a business start-up, so it's completely understandable.

How many ways can I doubt my orders before I get eh turn back?! [:D]

Shall we count them? Do you remember what you did?

Ha!! Yes. Like that.

This is a turn that could go a number of directions!

I think Obvert's opponent has done things like this in the past, only to come roaring back doing multiple turns a day.

Let us hope that is the case here, Obvert's carrier strike I am sure rattled his cage...

but I want to see what happens next.![:)]

Today I decided I need a game to be going on regularly. I sent this note to Historiker to check in again. No response yet.

Last week he said he'd a have a turn done by a week ago. He's starting up an online business apparently and doesn't have as much time these days, but was flipping 2-3 a day before the strike on his BB. He said after that he knew it would be a lot more clicks and hours to get things right and didn't have time until the weekend. So, a week after that I'm now checking in to see if this is still happening.

What do the total naval losses look like yet? Methinks the Allies may want to sue for peace...the plan original succeeds :)

He had a few BB damaged and sunk, big deal. Happens almost every day. This is war.
