Sacri…erm, scramble the two Germans, pls.

Attacking your naval group in sz 97 with sub, DD, CR, 2 fig and bomber. I have three hits (my sub did not hit), all your units are eligible for a loss as my DD also hit.
OOL pls, you have sub, CR, AC and two figs.

After another poor show of my troops in UK1 there, its really time to get going.

I bought a DD and have subsequent attacks on S-France and Tunisia.

MrRoboto, unfortunately I switched off my computer without saving at casualty selection…you still can see the rolls and three hits of my attack in sz 97 if you check your dice email, but I cant prove that I bought the DD or did the attack moves for battles in S-France and Tunisia before I rolled first round of attack in sz 97…

In any case, attached is the auto-save file. Nothing extraordinary as you can see. I suggest I roll the reminder of the sz 97 battle in the Forum after you assign the three hits.

Sorry for that mess.

File

Ok, thanks for your choice.

Defense Rd 1: Sub, AC, CR, 2x fig

Rolls: 1@1 1@2 1@3 2@4; Total Hits: 31@1: (3)1@2: (5)1@3: (2)2@4: (4, 4)

I retreat and edit the file accordingly.

effective blockade.

Not as horrible as failing France with 5 units remaining, true, but add up my sub, capital ship and air losses, add my misses at 3 and 4 in sz 97…I’d say it couldnt have gone better for UK at all.
But maybe I am just not skilled enough to overcome bad ones. We will see, but yes, nothing that horrible to yield immediately.
