11L '41 LL (Axis) v TDJ (Allies +5), -tech, +NO

[General_D.Fox]

I may have lost, but 10/12 ain’t too shabby.

[LuckyLindy]

I tell you man.  I tell you.  If you knew the troubles I’ve had.  I cannot believe that you only missed me twice, that was a heck of a roll, and I felt it coming.  Good thing I brought everything.

The Japanese bombers from the PHI battle were never landed, they will all land in FIC.  Important to know for your USA move  :wink:

Casualty choices in Z5?  I came up short again on the attack…  Let me know your choice and I will go forward with the defense.  Hopefully this isn’t yet another disaster for me.  :|

[LuckyLindy]

I guess the casualty choice is pretty straightforward since youwill want your best defence in order to save the transports.

Another strong defensive showing by the Allied fleet as they eliminate 70% of the German airforce.

Repeatedly pounded by heavy losses, the Axis picks itself up, dusts itself off, and continues its relentless march toward Moscow.
