I didn’t ask for scramble in z6 because it was moot.  No one would do that.

Also there is at least on AC in z6 free of planes so that the Anz planes can land on one emplty AC…. when its their turn.

[dutchmand]

If you do want to scramble in z6, let me know… happy to re-roll z6.

[boldfresh]

cheers

TripleA error obviously.

good catch

no problem

Also there is at least on AC in z6 free of planes so that the Anz planes can land on one emplty AC…. when its their turn.

good call on the no scramble.

[dutchmand]

Well some folks certainly love themselves some Turkey.  I love carriers and subs.  Bold has a fettish for bombers that is really creepy.  Mentions them before every purchase.  Germans clearly have a sick fetish for mech here, also a little creepy.
