@martin I had a quick look at the battle calculator earlier and it was in your favour, but not by much, so guess the dice gods were going to have the final say

@flyingbadger yes… I saw a 54% chance in my favour and thought I have to take the risk. Maybe I should be a bit more risk avers when the outcome of a close battle decides on the survival of transporters and freight. In this case, it turned out to be too risky and expensive. Lesson learned

Well, you can’t be too predictable. Sometimes the potential reward can be worth the risk. Eliminating the Italian fleet and giving yourself a free hand in the Mediterranean is very useful for the Allies.
We can exchange our After Action Reports on conclusion and learn from each other!

@martin I’ll edit the armour to be unloaded from those transports, did you want them in Egypt?
-
@flyingbadger thank you, but do not edit. It is the rules. They were involved in the amphibious assault on Greece and retreated. Unlucky, but that’s the way it is.

I suppose it is the old can’t load and unload in different phases rule. However, in this situation I think it is too harsh. I shall put them in Egypt. Monty will be pleased to have them :desert: :rat:
-
@flyingbadger that’s very kind, but you should leave them to their destiny. They were involved in combat and then retreated. They should not be able to make a non-combat movement on top…

Well I’ve made the edit (took 2 goes at it :confused: ), I’ll leave it up to you whether you keep them or not. Whatever you choose is 100% okay with me.

@flyingbadger it is funny how we are always fighting for the right of the opponent :-) I will take these tanks away, as I guess you will kill the transports. I hope that battle will not decide the war… But thank you again!
