I was really enjoying the game as well, when I lost the connection. The screen changed as if to reload the game but sat there doing nothing. I aborted and rejoined, but again nothing - so had no choice but to abandon.
I was in an experimental mood last night and as I struggle with 5x (I'm learning) I just threw things in and played off the cuff. The subs worked well(ish) and I actually had 7 left waiting for you when the game broke off at about 21-7 to you after your sub/bomber attack. I'll have to play a lot more at 5x to get the hang of it and make better use of my resources.
The game was beautufully balanced and a pity we did'nt get to finish it.
