The regiments are at Capetown because they are still restricted.  I need PP to buy them, but they are pretty expensive (600 PP each).  So first I'm planning to buy out 27th Div/B and 27th Div/C (at Lost Angeles) as they are more affordable.

I thought Steve's offensive was just centered around NoPac and now I discover that he even captured LA

Given all the possible connotations of the term 'sock puppet', I'm not sure that's such a good thing.

I can be sweet as honey or harsh as sandpaper...it depends on the occasions... and, above all, it depends on what you deserve... If you've been a good boy, you're gonna taste the honey juice, if you've been a bad boy...oh, you already know what happens...don't you?

Highly recommended.

Surprisingly enough, here in "Lost Angeles" the weather is remarkably comfortable. Our 4th of July outdoor barbecue felt like being indoors with a very high blue ceiling.

Canoerebel - I didn't realize that restricted US units could move to Cape Town without paying PPs; thanks for the tip (you introduced me to the Cape Town transit in a previous AAR). Entertaining -and- informative.

Status: offline 		PH seems to have disappeared, at least temporarily.  He sent word more than a week ago that he'd be back and flip a turn yesterday, but I haven't seen or heard from him.  It's too early to bug him, so I'm just chilling out and waiting to see what happens.

Like most, but not all, players, PH doesn't excel at communication about when the next turn will be coming.  I'd guesstimate that perhaps 33% to 50% of players involved in a single PBEM match are good at communication with their opponent.  Once a player takes on more than one PBEM at a time, the percentage immediately drops to the single digits.*

*Chez da Jes is one of the rarities - he juggled matches vs. Bradford Kay and me, but was always very courteous in telling us exactly when the next turn would come or wouldn't.

That is not good. I'm sure you've initiated some of these conversations yourself. You strike me as the 1% who would nearly always give forewarning that a turn was or was not coming. Too bad others don't follow suit.
