[Leaderoforcs]

I figure, when I've got big guns, I don't lose anything by smiling a little.

Go, Zenta!

(Not betraying any factional bias, not at all ... )

While I will probably fall from the sky with it or within one turn of it, I hope to aid in the felling of your precious Zenta. 

[Worktroll]

Hey, Mr. Statistician, is the version 2 spreadsheet done for Randall yet? Get back to work!

[Lord Cameron]

Go, Zenta!

(Not betraying any factional bias, not at all ... )

Strangely, someone edited the firing resuts, Zenta now had all hits and marco Polo all misses..... 

[Lord Cameron]

OK, firing results will be posted in about 20 min, but here is the turn 4 positions.

Things getting interesting!

[pianobar]

Aw, crud-muffins. I should really give myself 30 minutes between getting home from work and plotting any kind of movement. I forgot a detail there, oh well...what is, is.

Hey, Mr. Statistician, is the version 2 spreadsheet done for Randall yet? Get back to work!

Oh pish posh, I simply -must- make time for my afternoon tea. I'll get to the First Sea Lord's request after crumpets.

[Worktroll]

Just as well ... you'll need your strength, I'll be pulling it apart when I run my new samples through it

[Lord Cameron]

Let the exitment begin!!

Marco Polo has 5 destroyed locations, I rolled..... 

And with an almighty roar, and a huge spout of water, the Italian ship.... 

[Lord Cameron]

....is still alive!!

I rolled a 7 & 2 (+ 10) = 19!!!
Marco Polo SI is 20......
That's about as close to the afterlife as you want to get.

-whistles-

Well now, ain't that special.

Worktroll, I think you'll find that teatime is over and hopefully you've got the latest from our First Sea Lord.

[ColBosch]

I can only hope this will turn out like Lissa. I am outnumbered. That's a start.

You're not outnumbered. You're in a target-rich environment.

[blackbrunswicker]

You're not outnumbered. You're in a target-rich environment.

I like the way you think Col.
