HOF V3 - Age of Heros

[aksully]

Follow up note....
It took almost 5 hours and TWO technicians to do the work at the pole outside the house. After that the issue was the wireless modem that had to be reconfigured so both the internet and phone would work together.

So it has been a catch up day to be sure. On the plus side my internet speed has improved considerably. So its been busy to catch up on all the emails and such. Again..appreciate your patience.

Sully

 

[Cyc]

Glad to have you back, Sully.

 

[aksully]

Thanks Cyc! It has been a very frustrating couple of weeks after the only storm we've had in San Antonio all summer caused a multiple of problems in our neighborhood. Not to mention that we lost phone service and other stuff affecting my wife's comm..well it has been a mess!

Anyhow I hope this is behind us. On another note....the drought in the central US is becoming a devastating event. Makes one appreciate the importance of "Nature" in sustaining all of us.

And I like your new "Icon"!!!!

I'll post an update on my situation. I did a retest and it found out that the known parasite has bee killed off, so that is a plus but the unknown parasite has not been killed off so I have started a 12 week treatment program to try and remove that parasite. It seems the second parasite is the main cause of my problems, so hopefully after the treatment I will feel better, but I won't find out until a long time, which is a shame. So it is very much unlikely I can continue this game, but I look forward to reading the result.

Odd mayday transmissions are received from railway workers on the Trans-Siberian Line between Novosibirsk and Irkutsk. Suddenly, the trains from Vladivostok stop coming.

A T-34 Tank Corp is sent to investigate. Halfway along the line, they discover a Panther Division camped there, capturing a continuous stream of supply trains. The T-34 Tank Corp attacks:

T-34 Tank Corp (3/3) > 5th SS Panther Div (5/6) = T-34 Tank Corp (2/3)

However, in the fight, the railway is badly damaged. Worker crews are sent to repair it, but it will be another month before we get our American saltpeter again!

I read in the AOI thread that Bowsling is away for next 5 days.
I will be traveling as well, back Wednesday I think. Will have my
Blackberry, so will still get my emails and can check the board.
If the game gets back to me Cyc can play the Minor Allies.

Howdy folks played the save and sent it to Sully a few hours ago but just got the chance to post the results so here we go!

Another F9G pelts Gibraltar for no damage.


F9G Strikes Trondheim doing 1 pt. damage to defending unit.


Yet another Force Nine Gale was reported to have struck Vladivostok doing 1 pt. damage to ship in port.


Tokyo reports a F9G passing by and doing 2 pts. of damage to a ship in port.


Last but not least Dutch Harbor is visited by a F9G as well doing 1 pt. damage to defending unit.



The news in Africa is raging combat and raging Sand Storms!


A Sandstorm passing by Dakar does 1 pt. damage to defender.


Another Sandstorm bombards Tripoli but no real damage was reported.


A Sandstorm passes by a British controlled Airfield between Asyut and Alexandria but again no damage reported.


One last Sandstorm was reported harassing US Troops West of Tripoli but the soldiers reported no damage just mostly grumblings about the high winds extinguishing their smokes! One G.I was saying can't a guy just have a nice smoke after whooping some Italian _ss.

True, we were smokin' camels, but... ...That was at 150 yards with a M1903A4.

Save completed and sent to E. Apologies for a busy schedule the last week or so. I think the worst is passed. Needed to complete other saves under time deadlines as well. I'll do better and shoot for 24 or less from now on. Especially as the Allies are anxious to press their landings and make their attacks! Thanks for understanding!
