Slight Delay this week

Hello All,

My Kids are both sick and need extra attention and as a result this weeks installment of the Calcutta War will be delayed a day or two.

Kids trump Kolkata. Hopefully they'll be up and demanding your attention in the usual ways soon enough.

War could wait.

Kids first.
Rapid recovery for them.

Carthaginian · April 07, 2009, 08:41:59 AM

Our prayers for their fast recovery.
Hopefully they'll be laughing again in no time.

Thanks for the kind thoughts... Kids have generic sore throat; not strep throat so just need time, fluids and lots of rest.

Let's give time for the troops on both sides to dig in :D

Kids first

Most of things are typed up for the next post. I need to wait for the mods to sign off on things and do one more bit on an attempt to use airships as bombers.

This will conclude land fighting for this half as the Monsoon has arrived and no one is doing anything but attempting avoid drowning in a sea of MUD.

Dates covered April 1st to April 21st.

And yet it has come early in Nverse 1916. Possibly the fairly notable differences in our geography have affected this relatively small matter of climate.

As noted the Monsoons normally arrive later but they arrived early this year. Sucks to be Bharat...

No shit, as they got the earliest monsoon ever in recorded history.

Something else for the history books then... ;D

Indeed, when the monsoone hit two weeks early in 2008 it was the earliest mosoon since 1899. The Nverse 1916 monsoon is seven weeks early...
