FYI - With the ANZAC subs, I clicked Submerge instead of Retreat, so I had to edit them back to Sumatra.

Only 2 more Carriers to go!

Well I lost that fight last round…  and I had no reason not to go for it again…

And your Cruiser VS my Battleship,

Or your destroyer Vs my Cru/Dst last turn,

Or your Battleship/Sub vs my 2 subs 1 dst 1 fgt which all got smoked for nothing…

Been a fair trade all around I would say. ;)

After 2 hits to 1 in Ukraine on the opening round, I thought I had you!

Turns out my worthless planes had no more ammunition, and Vassilez Zaitsev never made a single shot the entire encounter.

For the record.  We are no longer bothering to take, clothe, feed, and medically treat POW’s.

It’s a waste of war resources.

Is this game considered 15L or 14L?
