Wow, that’s insane- talk about bad dice!
I should have seen a blitz possibility; that was dumb of me.
I’ll see if I can get to G2 tonight- I’m really busy, but I’ll try. -
Yeah, the East Europe “weakness” with a juicy bomber target was the reason i launched the UK amphi assault on Karelia, to soften the way for a russian blitz, but now all for naught…
-
Well I commend your strategy regardless- I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Now to G2

2 of your subs hit my destroyer simultaneously.
I need you to decide to lose your own destroyer (and thereby any chance of returning fire at my airborne forces, but allowing all 3 subs to escape should you want to.), or lose a sub, and continue fighting with your surface vessel.

This isn’t going very well!
I’ll wait for your decision re the engagement in SZ5, in case the WEu landings affect your choice.

Lose the DD, keep the subs

Ok, in that case your subs should submerge, and my fighters pick off the transport and RTB.
