2 of your subs hit my destroyer simultaneously.

I need you to decide to lose your own destroyer (and thereby any chance of returning fire at my airborne forces, but allowing all 3 subs to escape should you want to.), or lose a sub, and continue fighting with your surface vessel.

This isn’t going very well!

I’ll wait for your decision re the engagement in SZ5, in case the WEu landings affect your choice.

[Spitfire38]

Lose the DD, keep the subs

[gambit78]

Ok, in that case your subs should submerge, and my fighters pick off the transport and RTB.

Will your FTR conduct an intercept? If yes, note that you may not use/move it in G3.

[Spitfire38]

Yes, I want to use it as an intercept. But it can still move on G3- the rules state that fighters participating can’t be in any other battles that turn…which means that if there was an amphibious assault or a ground battle, my plane could not participate. But it does not tie up my plane for MY German turn-just for the duration of the US turn. This is how it is in the other games as well (G40, Europe, etc).

If you can prove the rules otherwise, then I will keep it grounded.

Thanks!

[gambit78]

Yes you are right, I’m sorry I was mistaken.

US high command and the bomber crews pay dearly for a lack of  fighter escort.  :cry:
