welcome to the forums BTW, tho a bit belated, i think is the word lol[:'(]

marky -> RE: Saratoga engaged in SURFACE gunfight! (8/18/2005 6:39:01 PM)
yep, belated[:'(]

marky -> RE: Saratoga engaged in SURFACE gunfight! (8/18/2005 6:46:30 PM)
so neway[:'(] obviously my carriers dont have much to worry about they do need to replenish their airgroups tho thers barely any kates or vals left but Enterprise and Sara will most likely sink Wasp took a bit of bomb damage and Hornet if shes around is outnumbered, icr if she was with them or not i split the carrier force i detached 4 battleships with cruisers and plenty of destroyers and theyre heading for tulagi to hti any remaining trannys yamato is remaining with the carriers for now but her guns will no doubt be deployed off GC, as the japs should have done if yamato had been ther the Operation Watchtower might have gone differently

marky -> RE: Saratoga engaged in SURFACE gunfight! (8/18/2005 6:47:17 PM)
