I thought you were going to hit the German transport in 91 with the French fighter…… You sure you want to let it go?

[gamerman01]

Oh, jeez, I can take Chicago…

Don’t know if you saw my warning message - wanted to give you another chance, but it’s time for G3…  This might teach you something  :-)

Looks like you’re back online….

Sorry about the unpleasant surprise, but I guess it’s not really that bad.  It cost me a man on Gibraltar and a transport to get 12 bucks, and the knocked down factory probably won’t even be a factor.

Shoot, it probably wasn’t even the best move I could make, come to think of it.  Except you do have to go get the transport with something

[gamerman01]

'cause now I have zero transports, when I could have one in 112.  Probably should have bought a sub or two also instead of that bomber, but card laid is a card played…

You can never attack a submarine without a destroyer unless the submarine owner voluntarily chooses to fight.  Subs can submerge immediately.  You may move your Russian sub to a different sea zone (started by Leningrad) before Germany’s turn, if you like

3 infantry and 3 artillery in 33 unloading on the Carolines - I just forgot to click them over……
Triple A sucks at naval battles like this, rolling dice separately and demanding premature casualty choices, so will roll it here.

I assume 3 ANZAC fighters are scrambling, but if not, then just tell me with your first round casualty choice.

Japanese onslaught:

[gamerman01]

I’ll just give you maximum defense….

You take hit to battleship and carrier, lose sub, 3 destroyers, carrier, 1 cruiser

[gamerman01]

Is that casualty choice correct?  I guess I do need to wait, because I don’t want to assume the scramble of 3 ANZAC fighters without your say-so

[luckyinmaroon]

yes, scramble the 3 anzak planes.

I am cool with max defense.

[gamerman01]

Thank you for the prompt and clear reply - I really appreciate it.  Now for another big roll
