Exactly.
Matt can tell you also that in this game, in most cases, the defender is SCATHING. Look at the game from the beginning - it’s quite amazing and unbelievable, and entertaining.
Truth be told, the defense has been so strong that it has pretty much evened out overall. The only battle I’m still a bit sore about is the Italian navy attack by the UK. Gamer has had just as bad ones probably, but that one felt like a real game wrecker with loss of navy, air and africa in one swoop.

I agree
I4 coming up
Z62 attack(s) were the exception…. You got very nice, important hits from your American fighters…
Your map has only 3 fighters moving to Cau, not 4 like your typing says.
I’m going by your map.
I4 with way too much money, buy DD, CV (save 4)

Ironically I think I only want 3 in Cau, I figure I need 5 to hold Kar
NM, you picked right! good guts
@PGMatt:

Yeah, so 3 fighters and a bomber in Cau? OK, that’s what my Italian move was based on.
Great - game on!
Game on…not sure I can see a come back with the economy as inbalanced as it is. We shall see.
