@alexgreat:

Really have no reason to disallow the casualty swap, but apologies for not answering earlier, just saw it today. I edited accordingly. In an ideal allies world, of course, the BB would stay and it would be destroyed by my own crippled one without getting hitting back ;) exactly the reason to change my casualty choice ;-)

In the real world pls let me know your scrambling decision for sz 97.

And no scramble plz
