Maj. von Mauser - Their invasion troops will return to Eniwetok and I do not wish to expand in the Pacific just yet as I cannot protect it all. The current line of islands is working very well and it will continue to be used to try and thin out the USN a little more.
Irenicus - Thank you and welcome. Things are going well so far but there is still the small matter of the Bear to contend with.
Deus - My relations are improving but the Soviets are coded to attack so they will at some point.
Riptide - Trade increase, particularly with the Soviets, is benefitting from the loss of so many ships of the Royal Navy. I even have some 90%+ trade efficiencies with South America on occasion.
Raaritsgozilla - Thank you. Leaving the forums for any length of time leads to a lot of reading
Reado - I expect Mamoru will be having tea parties alone at that point
Sokraates - Siam provided a large amount of rare materials and metal and if I can keep the trades with the Soviets I might manage to get energy positive. I had to double check to make sure it wasn't a bomber that sunk that French Submarine. You spotted my typo, it should have been Trust not Truth and has been corrected
Lord Strange - I wish I could capture them but its not going to happen. If I could blockade the port with enough forces it might happen but it is very unlikely. I will just settle for sinking as many as I can.
Murmurandus - Would I do that
alan_le_cowboy - Thank you and welcome. Dasfubar is correct, there will be no Countries released as it makes it too easy. Puppets fight without the penalties of VH setting and would be too powerful, that and I hate puppets
Lord Strange, Merlowe, Nathan Madien - If this becomes a World Conquest. I am still not decided if that will happen or if it is possible once the Soviets attack.
cloneof - Thank you.
Electric Sheep - Very nice. The lack of tea should be a big problem for the British for sure
