@pacifiersboard I’m realizing infrastructure bids in this format might not be a good idea. Unit bids can be wasted, or used to prevent better bids but their existence still represents a potential problem for the Axis. But infrastructure bids can be placed for the purpose of their capture by Axis. I would suggest we either step back a round and you revisit the s France air base or we proceed with it but with no further infrastructure bids.

@Ghostglider no scrambles or kamikazes

@Ghostglider Edit because I didn’t maximize placement in Novgorod.

@nikola1975 I edited to add 2 UK ftrs because I forgot to land them…
I didn’t fix the US + UK ftr distribution (the computer thinks the french ftr is on the US CV) because it didn’t change my fights.

Still have
1 US CV (1 Us tac + 1 UK ftr)
1 UK CV (1 UK ftr + 1 fr ftr)

You had 2 scramble options that I just skipped
1 for the Japanese against the US
5 ftrs + 3 sub + bmb vs 1 DD (+ possibly ftr + tac)

Also
In Holland,
2 UK inf + 2 ftr + bmb vs 1 inf (+ possibly 1 ftr)
