[sas]

Darius got my password.

Pretty much the arrangement is that I play in those where he can't get a sub, so if no one offers to play for him I'll do the Soviet turns. I strongly suggest someone takes it though, since the games I'm taking on now will keep me from punctuality.

atawa?

[atawa]

Damn, totaly forgot about it, I'll post the save tomorrow.

(have to get some sleep now as I only have 6 hours left and a 12 hour working day tomorrow )

[atawa]

Ok here it is.

Dunkirk destroyed. (sorry Fell couldnt resist)

Sank 5 stacked subs in the atlantic west of Portugal

Allied forces capture the town of Tobruk

[Darius871]

Sorry atawa, that was probably one sub with four torpedoes

Setbacks that fell upon Germany may be nearly made up for by Italian successes.

- Suicidal attacks by a Ju87 squadron and some militia destroyed the last two capital ships in the Mediterranean, caught off guard in port at Tobruk! The Italian Navy has been dispatched to the area to seize the initiative as they can now operate unchecked!

- Furthermore, the explosions in the two battleships set the entire city ablaze, and there is now nothing left of it. Any Allied advances in the near future would be very difficult without this stepping-stone.

- Lepanto captured with little resistance.

- Italian tanks continue their drive into southern France, where they see French cities completely ungarrisoned. After a defensive line east of Marseilles is destroyed next turn, we should be able to waltz on in.

- Production in most Minor Axis cities finally shifts from martial law garrisons to planes and tanks, which will soon turn the tide in France. Their efforts, combined with the complete Axis victory coming soon in the Mediterranean, will finally result in the French being pushed into the sea.

BTW Imperial-Markus, there is an Allied carrier at coordinates 141,91, just west of El Alamein. If you have any subs nearby feel free to sink it. It is critical to them at this point as Tobruk's destruction will make them need it to sustain air operations against Benghazi, if they ever get that far.

Ok, now the arrangement was that I would take sas' place in any games where we cannot find someone to fill in for him. The problem is that he is the Soviets in this game, which could bring a conflict of interest. I would try to be objective though, and of course the Minor Axis and Soviets aren't at war. So if no one offers to play the soviets until he gets back, should I play them or should we wait?

[atawa]

Wait, he is probebly going to invade Germany on the next turn so russia being played by the minor axis wouldnt be a good idea.

[Darius871]

Damn, just when things are looking up...

Maybe you could do it since you're allies.

[atawa]

How long untill sas comes back?

[Darius871]

Two and a half weeks, so we have to have subs unless you seriously want to wait.

[Darius871]

Ok, today I'm going around trying to find subs for all my games as I will also be gone for three weeks, from Thursday, June 20 to Thursday, July 11 to be precise. I am going to put up threads here and at Apolyton to hunt for subs, but before I do so I'm going to all of the games in which my civs have allies and asking whether my allied player would be willing to do my turns while I'm gone. Would you do the Minor Axis turns in this one, IM? Reply soon as I need to put up those sub-hunt threads soon.

[Imperial-Markus]

Well I'll take over for you in CFC and of course also here in Apolyton.

[Darius871]

Thanks, man.
