This game rapidly coming to an end. Germany will be reduced

HOF lite game giving preference to new players and a regular HOF
game for experienced players.

Gents..it has been a honor to play against you. As some may know..my wife who is in the US Air Force has orders for reassignment to RAF Lakenheath, UK. We will be leaving the US on 22 May. It has been increasingly hard for me to do my turns as well and timely as I would like. I feel bad that I have hung up the pace of the game as well.
So I tried to get in some final blows against the mighty US & CW forces.

THis is all I can do as the move gets closer. Thanks so much for the spirit of competition! But I must now leave the IJN & IJA to Eric. Once I get settled in the UK I will certainly return to Civ 3 and HOF. Please keep me in your game plans by late summer.

I have enjoyed your company and wish all Happy Trails until I meet you all again in a few months!

Your friend,
Sully

 

[semental]

Good luck Sully!

 

[aksully]

Thanks everyone for your emails and good wishes! Once settled in England I'll give everyone a shout and hopefully get back to playing. This is just a temporary break so don't write me off! I understand that the UK has better and faster broadband...Nice!

And once more..I apologize for the slow play these couple of months. I was trying to squeeze water from a rock!

Back soon and Good Days to all!
Sully
