TheMethuselah (Axis) vs Odonis (Allies+15)

[TheMethuselah]

Ok, I’m running into a bit of an issue. Prior to rolling any dice, I changed my mind about how many fighters to send to 110, and I can’t seem to edit in another fighter there without getting “can’t add air units to water without sufficient space.”

I am sending two fighters and one bomber there, by the way.

One easy solution is if you choose not to scramble, I can just roll the battle as is and likely kill the destroyer in one shot.

[Odonis]

just cancel, and re-do the turn

As long as you haven’t rolled, anything is editable.
