Confirmed at $900M.

You sure he can afford that? ;)

Lemme get 4 of those. Money auto wired.

Sure he can I checked. He has about $600M left in his defense budget but that's his perogative. Now 4 for you huh? That would be $1.8B but given our alliance it is a mere $1.35B.

OOC: What the hell, a few boats for training can't hurt eh? :p By the way, you still interested in that Juliett-II?

IC: We would be interested in purchasing ten vessels.

Nope not interested in the Juliett anymore but I will confirm your purchase of 10 688/I submarines at a total of $4.5B.

OOC: Layarteb, opened up a hole in the Neo-Tyr beachead. 30 B-1's and 4 M.O.A.B.'s from 4 B-52's did the trick, along with battleship, missile boat, and tactical submarine bombardment.

If you wanna jump in, there's a hole.

We'll buy the rest- $9 billion, right?
