Not sure why that posted so many times. Regretted going for Kenya with the convoy disruption. Oh well…

[Witt]

The UK has to recapture it or lose its NO, for holding all starting European possessions. Is what most players do.
The posting is very slow, since DJensen changed the server. It annoying and worries you into thinking you have not posted.

Ok thanks for flagging on the server - I know on the NO point but should have probably gone for British Swaziland instead (or whatever it’s called)….

Well this turns hideous mistake was forgetting that to scamble from Malta you need an airbase there….

Hence the overkill on the cruiser next to Malta. As a result probably undercooked the attack on your fleet off the coast of Ireland meaning I have a distinct absence of planes left. I think you got a bit lucky on the dice as well.

My strafe on Greece didn’t go too well either…

On a more positive note, at least there’s only one carrier left in the Atlantic for the Allies fleet. For now…

Really enjoying this guys.

1940 takes some getting used to.
We were lucky to get away with the Bristol fleet so lightly (heavily to you, more like).
Are very few safe spots for the UK fleet early on. Germany’s Air is very powerful and can reach far.
