"The Silence of the Dog - Scot - Gunner"

[Shogun Gunner]

@ both of your posts. Funny stuff.

Well, maybe I'll send King Mursilis a nice gift fruit basket with a note saying "Sorry for your loss" and a big yellow foam finger in the shape of an index finger saying "YOU ARE NUMBER ONE!" That should help

Now, what reparations have the Vikings made to the Germans. Chancellor Bismark seems mighty displeased that his capital is overrun with hooligan Vikings on leave. It's not the military presence as much as it is the looting, fornication and pissing in the street that he finds so disagreable. You can see it in his face.

And what, pray tell, is hidden in the Celtic corner of the word? I have not heard much from the Aztec Montezuma recently. Is he getting on okay with the Celtic nation? Maybe I should send a patrol down south to check things out...

Well the Chancellor may not like my troops, but I was walking my dog past his house the other morning

you should see what his wife did

[Shogun Gunner]

Ahhhh, I peace!

The Aztecs are being their usual haughty selves. Nothing much is hidden in our part of the world except for lush green pastures, iron filled hills, and more luxs than you could shake a stick at.

Just to let Paddy know, this email didn't contain any diplomacy, just a querie regarding the save.

Well no sooner had I mentioned that the Aztecs seemed to be behaving themselves, they demand a tech. We of course refused, and so Montezuma declared war.

And so into battle we Celts go..

Yes, sorry. My message could me misunderstood. I though Andy had sent an old save, but he had sent the correct one. Thanks for raising that point Andy.

Regarding Montezuma -- well, it's hard to verify the facts on the ground since I don't have scouts in the area, but we have no reason to doubt our Celtic buddies.

[Paddy]

so are you workingh from home again Shogun?

[Shogun Gunner]

nope, just took a coffee break to check Poly...

I wish we could do another one of those rapid fire sequences, but I only have today, tomorrow and Monday to close out several items at work before going to China.

BTW, this PBEM is currently my fav -- likely do to the quick turn play. Thanks for that guys. BOC isn't bad, due to the massive investment we have all made into that game.

[Paddy]

if you want a session before you go, let us know, happy to make time available for that

[Andydog]

me too.

Yeah I'm also enjoying this game. Quick turn rates make such a difference.

So how long are you in China for then Shogun? Sounds exciting.

[Shogun Gunner]

Leaving early next week (August 8) and I'll back in the first week of September.

Yes, it is exciting! I can't wait. My wife hasn't been back to China since she came to the US on her student visa over ten years ago. We are landing in Shanghai, after a week or so, flying to Wuhan, then after another week flying to Beijing. After that, back to Washington DC.
