Well, need to be lucky all the way. Should’ve saved a des.

I wanted the 2 fig, 1 tac to land in Berlin.

Sorry, 1 fig, 2 tac.

@trulpen oops, forgot you had that option. I am going to need to reconsider my combat.

Sure thing.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I will reload and take the dice results for the battles that are already completed in W Europe. It will be a few edits.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

hmmm, can I not just ignore the German subs for the amphibious landing if those are the only units left? It has been a long time since I remember these rules.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I think I messed up…

The tr can’t unload if there are unchecked subs. Need a war-ship along and then they can be ignored.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

well, there goes that plan. Guess it is game over.

That’s sad, but I see what you mean. G will likely reclaim Paris and gain a secure hold on the western front, while still having a smashing position in the east.

hmmm… any chance that I could redo that battle, bringing in the destroyer to take on the subs. Or should I just call it a game and post?
