Well, that’s a setback. I forgot about those Italian planes.

yuck, I forgot to move my italian navy on the map, and actually I had moved them prior to sending the request for a scramble. Forgot that I hadn’t saved it.
-
there was a counter in the round before that I should have done
-
i broke my rule of always taking out whatever navy the english leave in the atlantic
-
OK so just correct your moves on the map and do germany

Would you like to restart?
-
can’t bear to watch what’s about to happen?
hey you still have one of the most monstrous american fleets ever assembled
-
Hey I have an idea. My strategy is screwed right now because of that italian attack. So you can count that game s a loss.
How about if we say that you managed to sink ALL of my UK ships last turn. This round UK bought 3 subs instead of 2 and a destroyer, and moved all units to Scotland instead of Ireland. I think if we do that the allies can beat sea lion. Want to try it?
-
This is what it would look like.
-
Sorry forgot the french. Try this one. Italy’s planes are back in southern italy too.
-
remember I can use my subs as cannon fodder against your subs
-
Yeah you don’t have to submerge
-
so all I need to do is hit both Scotland and London
and if I feel like 2 ftrs 2 bmbs aren’t enough, I just build an AC or two with a dst, which admittedly puts me in a bad way against russia, but with all that american fleet coming, might be worth the investment
-
anyway I need some sleep, if you don’t want to continue this game, I understand
-
You see, my idea here is that your 26 divisions are either lost attacking Scotland without air cover, or your fleet gets sunk this round and the 26 divisions are trapped on the island. You need to bring them all too, because of that big American invasion force threatening to liberate London on USA5, with the Scotland force as the second wave. It’s a pretty tight spot.
-
The problem is that in order to construct your ship blocks, you lost infantry, and now my 26 don’t even need much air support, but there are ways to bring it anyway – by building ACs.
-
and I won’t let you have those ship blockers so easily in future games, and in most games the Italians would have a more sizeable can opening air force. Italian air has taken some hits.
-
did you take a look at what I did against Cmd Jen?
Of course, she would remind you that she won the temporary VCs with Japan, but I knocked out her German fleet.
-
but I already have a fallback for that situation . . .
