Naturally you’re gonna want to scramble, so I set that up.

I got two hits with the subs, and assigned them to the destroyers (you still have more, so that was a no-brainer).

Now i got 3 more hits with the rest.  Where would you like them?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

sub, DD, tip a carrier

Got ten hits in round 1.  Which is good, because I desperately needed that.

Where do you want them?  Oh, and I scrambled the USA planes - we can change that later with an edit if you’d like.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Max defense.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh shoot.  I just realized that in my despair over your amazing defense vs Italy and my poor showing on offense, I clicked through casualties in round 2 of that battle without looking and apparently damaged another carrier.

How would you like to proceed?  It was my mistake, so I’ll accept whatever remedy you find acceptable.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

keep with your awesome G1 roll and do the additional rolls on the forum.

[Shin-Ji]

Thanks!  That’s very kind of you.

Finally could move to Belarus now that Germany has fewer planes.  That usually means victory for the Allies, but we shall see how things proceed.
