I am intending to move again soon
It is not cool to just make one move after such a long delay and then delay again, so I don’t want to do that

[gamerman01]

Maybe I’m getting just good enough dice to continue the agony

Need a casualty choice -

I assumed hit to battleship and sub in round 1
Then my sub hit and I assumed hit to destroyer

You hit me 3 times and I took all 3 hits to carriers

Let me know if you disagree with anything I’ve already taken off….

[bmnielsen]

Looks fine. Keep two fighters.

I thought I was doing an SBR on West Germany.  When it asked for what facility I was bombing, I hit cancel because I hadn’t made up my mind on the combat move yet.  I thought it was doing an SBR and would ask me later.

I didn’t know it was doing a conventional attack until it rolled all your conventional units in defense.  My attack roll was a 5, so I put 7 damage on the factory.  I know it doesn’t look good - like a good cover story for an unscrupulous move, but I’m honest.  If you don’t like it, remove 7 damage from your factory.
