Scramble to defend SZ 25?

OOL for SZ25?

[Balladeer]

Uh oh, totally forgot the Queensland fighters…

Scramble = yep
OOL = max def

[ArtofWar1947]

The lapse regarding the Queensland fighters and tac did not matter. Despite 82:18 odds, the US snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. As wiping out the main Pac fleet of the Japanese was the only hope of the Allies remaining viable, I’ll concede.

Neat of my fleet, but silly mistake on my part, if I hold back I’m good… Was a very interesting game! Especially liked the back and forth of Germany in Russia, from almost in Iraq to back to Poland and starting anew. Thanks for the game!
