Subject: Allied Victory!!! Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 21:42:40 EDT From: Pbroring@aol.com Reply-To: combat@pittelli.com To: combat@kutz.com, combat@pittelli.com I want to send out a big CONGRATULATIONS to the entire Allied Fleet. You all did a wonderful job last week. The dreaded Axis Fleet, with it's superiority in numbers and units, was soundly defeated by a smaller and younger fleet. I was very impressed with everyone. Especially our youth contingent. The only real Allied setback came with Campaign. The Axis had superior numbers of captains, and this is often the deciding factor during Campaign. For those that want to know the breakdown of allied ships, I will list them at the end of this note. As for the numbers, the Axis usually had 12- 14 ships on the water. The Allies usually had 9 or 10 ships. And yes the Allies had significantly less units for most sorties (So I would feel REALLY bad about losing if I were an Axis this year). The Allies had 4 young captains (David Ricci, Cameron Moury, Adam and Matt Thibault). There were two founders (Jeff and Stan). And four of us regular veterans (Pav, Don Fisher, Ron Hunt, and myself). Ron Thibault also helped out a bit, especially during Campaign on Thursday (three full runs with my convoy ship) Breakdown of ships: David N.C. Cameron California Adam Louiville Matt Witchita Stan N.C. Jeff Texas Pav Maryland Don N.C. Ron Invincible Paul Michigan Again, you guys all did a GREAT job. You also made my job as Admiral very easy!!! Thanks for a great week. Paul "Doc" Broring Now does it become a Five-Peat if the Allies win again in OKC?
