Oops, clicked end noncombat move before moving my sub stack over
Use this one

I kept the destroyer in 46 after I didn’t destroy everything in one round.  I had never even thought about retreating, going into it, but it turned out to be a kind of sweet move.

You wouldn’t keep the plane because I would definitely retreat and the plane would be lost and you would have nothing.
I figured you would keep the destroyer because it was unlikely you would go 3/3 and sink my sub (which you did), and you don’t really need a damaged carrier down there.  I guess change it to a damaged carrier if you want, but I think you want the destroyer.

I guess it’s better for me to have the 4 ships at a naval base in the middle of the Pacific ocean where they will get repaired immediately.  Reminds me of a G1 battleship hit and run back to 112, but funny thing is I wasn’t planning on retreating.

OK to keep the DD

2 questions for you Ghost

Did you not want to attack the sub in 112?  I wondered if your undo from 125 messed up Triple A.

You told me that 1 US fighter is on a UK carrier in 112 (impossible for it to be anything else) but if anything you need to declare what the UK fighters are on.  Because you could land USA air on carriers next turn

[gamerman01]

Oh, I see, you didn’t attack the sub because of the scramble potential

And whatever with the fighter on the carrier, but I don’t see why you told me the US fighter is on a UK carrier

So I will play tonight anyway, even though you probably signed off for the night so won’t be answering anyway

[boldfresh]

Does anyone else see the Ben Carson banner ad on this page or is it just me

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

The ads are smart and based on your browsing activity.  So it’s just you, and why are you posting that here.

[boldfresh]

Cuz there was a pause in the action.

[gamerman01]

Not much of one!  I would have posted last night but I got a migraine from all the work I was doing….

Now if Ghost would lose his Australian air force and a couple frenchies, I could make a double move…

Or tell me what he’s doing in advance… what, are the fighters jumping on the US carriers again?  :-P  Or landing in India?

I feel great after 10+ hours of sleep… Looking at Italy now then

No intercept. Please remember to specify targets for each BMB if they do not attack the same target

Thanks, but they’re both going for the naval base
