Hmm… but what would you have left in SZ 79? Any Unit you sent to Phili would / could have made a difference to my US fleet movement.

Turn Complete - French

Ok I made an illegal move…

Me: Can I make the Combat move… and dooming one of the fighters to die, since the Carrier can only pick one Fighters up by moving in to the non combat move?

Krieghund: You must choose one attack to do. You can’t do both.

Please Edit and add the lost 5(?) Japanese transports and also add 1 UK Fighter to Egypt.

Thanks

I concede the match.

There is no coming into play here, as far as I can see. Even Italy can now be easily defended by Germany.
There were probably too many mistakes on my part.  :-(

Congratulations! Your overall strategy was really good.
