hmmn
you definitely got the better of that
i think i lose one sub, cruiser and fighter
would like to lose 2 subs but don’t think that’s possible

what the hell, let’s do it
sub, 2bomb v 2fgt, damBB, tran

sub
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 11@2: (2)

gamble pays off. that’s a dead BB by sneak attack. that is pretty sick

2 bombers
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 12@4: (6, 3)

vs 2 fighters, tran
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 22@4: (4, 4)

now i’m not sure what happens
you need to decide which fighter lives, US or UK

both my bombers die - expensive business

but sub lives
i presume the sub also sinks the transport

so british fighter lands in UK, right?
