C3C PBEM : "Haiti" - Age of Discovery scenario-based PBEM

[WarningU2]

Ok in the interest of keeping someone HAPPY ... here is another post ...

The Spanish continue travel up the North American coast and hear the Dutch walking about in their great big wooden shoes (my what big calves you have) while my intreped little explorer goes west dodging smelly indian droppings. At the home the work on the Sistine Chapel <censored by the office of official secrets>

Another quite boring year for the Dutch... caravels continue to explore up the northern and southern coasts of the New World, and our explorer continues pushing westward, wondering if there ever is an end to this land...

Apology to the game ... I have sent save

I think it was me who has been holding up the game ... I either inadvertently failed to send the save on ... or the blame lies with my computer which has been suffering problems for a month or longer due to power spike (which will be resolved very soon)

However since I had posted a report it should have occured to the game to contact me sooner ... apologies again

 

[AluminumKnight]

It's probably my fault for not realizing I was supposed to have the save... somehow I got it in my head that I had sent it off and so was waiting for another post/the next save. I have played and sent it off now, however.

The Dutch decide to sit back and watch the wonder race, should be interesting...
