Nothing a person can do about that. I retreat. I’ve never seen that before. No hits for me, four for you.
I place, and move on.

I’m going to assume you want to scramble from Gibraltar (if not we can re-roll it without them). Here goes nothin…

OK it’s getting late here so I am calling it quits for today. When you have decided how to distribute your 4 hits, you can continue rolling this battle until all of my navy and bomber command have committed suicide. Then France can sink my transports I guess. :-)
I choose to lose the sub, destroyer, 1 cruiser and damage the battleship.
The remaining cruiser, damaged battleship, and bomber will fight on heroically until the end.

Here is the map with everything done except UK losses in sz92. night.

Ok, on you go. I’m interested in how this move works out long term… the double impulse will be pretty effective in wiping out the Brit fleet.

I chose ulimately to lose the carrier and land the fighter/tac on Gibraltar. They can still scramble, but the two fighters already there can not.

Clear SZ94
a SZ91 - I’ll do the combat all at once to save time… I’ll do 6 2’s (for my destroyer) and 6 1’s (for your sub) and we just match them up.

Germany is up!
-
OK cool. I am a little confused by the rolling 6 dice for the cruiser & sub, but I guess its meant to reduce the quirkiness a bit and get the odds closer to 1/6 for the sub and 3/6 for the cruiser?
By the way, as a back up I was planning to go all out and hit sz92 this turn with planes from W Germany and land them in Algeria but the Italy suicide run worked out OK and I don’t want to trade expensive planes at this stage so now I’m not doing it. A destroyer left in sz94 would have prevented the Italy suicide attack. I’ll remember that one.
Anyway, Italy collects 14 IPCs (should have been 15 but I forgot Kenya). By the way, there seems to be a glitch with my battlemap because I can’t seem to change the IPCs on the chart in the upper left corner.
Germany buys 5 armor, 5 mech, 1 artillery, 1 sub, 1 destroyer (68IPCs).
