@captainnapalm note the UK edits. The game took as casualties the fighters with the most movement. So two fighters from England survived the combat and remained in 97 to be destroyed. I added 4 fighters to Norway that all would have come from Greece. In the edit, 2 of those fighters replace the 2 fighters from England and 2 were removed from Greece where I had landed them.

@farmboy I almost decided to postpone that another turn, but convinced myself otherwise. Sigh.
