Good Game, no point going on. I am rustier than I thought.
Your second game was much better than the first. So you’re shaking off the rust.

Let me know if you really would have chosen casualties any differently there…. judging the situation I think I took what were the best choices at the time… Carrier is ready to take on American air, and USA subs could join the defense in 12 so I don’t think you should have kept any destroyers
Please let me know right away if you disagree and we can make changes.
Yes, I would have kept a destroyer and lost the Soviet fighter in the 2nd round. Otherwise I am at risk to your German submarines. It would have been a risk, especially with your very good second round roll but it was what i was planning to do. Otherwise, I am at too much risk when the Germans attack.
Cheers
If this changes anything please make any adjustments you want.
Didn’t think about how you could replace the Russian one with a USA fighter.
OK, swap out the Russian fighter for a destroyer…
Are you sure?  This was right before you got an unbelievably good roll.  At the time I had a good chance of sinking everything, and could ignore subs on Germany’s turn.
Well, that’s what I get for not waiting.  Didn’t think you’d want any destroyers because USA subs would pretty much offset the German ones.  Surprise strike would be no big deal.  Go ahead and swap it.  When a player doesn’t wait for casualty choices, the other player should get to change them retroactively, so it’s fine.  I’m not even sure that’s a better choice, but the choice is yours
Yeah I am not sure either, but I was planning to lose the Soviet fighter in the battle because it gave the best chance of saving the fleet. I was hoping strongly for a better result but I guess it probably came out around average?
Cheers
