looks like I’m screwed.  I needed the Anzac fighter to kill the bomber.  I knew it was overly risky to be relying on this, but at the time it seemed less bad…

[gamerman01]

As I thought - like an experienced, smart player you took appropriate chances at the appropriate time.  Amazing that it worked out for me - obviously more than offset the poor results at Morocco

You caught me by surprise, and like it so often does, the “curse of the clever” as I call it, strikes again.

[gamerman01]

I didn’t say that as clearly as I thought.
I meant that you are an experienced and smart player, not that you are “like” one.

I think Triple A still doesn’t handle fleet battles like this quite right, so will roll on the forum.
Like it makes you give casualty choices for subs even when they don’t have surprise strike.
