@Jercules:

SZ91 (it is my understanding that my subs get sneak shots, as per the old rules. If this has changed let me know, and we’ll roll a three for this if need be)

You are right. Since no Destroyers were present, Subs get a sneak shot and planes (Gibraltar in this case) can’t scramble.

Churchill orders brave spitfires to be grounded. A way more important battle is coming…

He must think ‘spitfires’ are a type of barbeque :wink:

Cable to Hitler : As we agreed, we’re sending you Oil and Wheat… but we haven’t received any payment yet. Russia kindly reminds Germany that gold should be sent accordingly to our agreement. - Josef Stalin

(Note : I modified Germany IPC in hands, so it shows you now have 67IPC. Also I renamed game, we usually add a letter before nation’s name so all files are in turn’s order)

It’s 65, you’re right. I miscalculated your purchases.

- Waiting scrambling orders -

[Jercules]

I’ll scramble the fighters.

Before you start rolling though, it is my understanding that planes can in no circumstances hit subs (even with the dd present). We can waive that rule for this game if you like, it makes little difference to me. But if not, it makes you SZ91 attack dicier, which means you may want to devote more navy to it, which means less for the Bismarck, which means perhaps your whole strategy changes.

Up to you, I always played it where anything can hit subs so long as a dd was present until I was corrected in another forum game.

But yeah, Goring is adamant… SCRAMBLE THE FIGHTERS!!!

[BigBadBruce]

If DD is present, anything can hit Subs.
