WesWorld

Well, I´m a bit late. A bit much, probably, but at least there is progress. Minimum progress but anyway, here is my 60th report for WesWorld.

Those of you who carefully browse other players reports may note how many ships are undergoing repairs and how expansive that is. Believe me, those repair rules we have are crap! >o|

You may have noticed that following September 1935 we stopped posting monthly battle reports for the South American war. It was costing just too much time on my side and we were falling behind. However, to be able to handle material costs per quarter for my reports I continued to list losses and damaged vessels per month. Together with the articles already posted this should those interested allow a more detailed idea of what was going on.
