Sure, full scramble, best defense.

That strike on sz26 really didn’t work out for me on J1 due to attrocious dice. But it at least gave me the landing spot to (hopefully) rectify that.  :evil:

I suspected you’d hit Wake in retribution for the strike against your surface fleet. I really can’t complain about the total IPC swing from that exchange.  :-D

@Shin:

I knew I’d be taking a hit.� But I thought the scramble would have thinned the ranks a bit.� Ah well.

Hard to know what the dice would have been before hand.
