Excuse the edit - somehow I put 2 blocking DDs in sz22!

Did not scramble from the Carolines as my fleet could move there in combat and preclude that being sensible.

@wittmann:

20effijng 5 swing. Did you not bombard? I always keep two, so as to prevent that. Has your fleet moved in? Will look later, as am off. Did uou land all 8 units, without any cover? Or was there Air in the SZ?

Yes - used all 8 land units and some air. Your AA missed.

Fleet has moved in. Could have done it in combat to preclude a scramble, but assumed I had and did not scramble your air. It was a lazy shortcut that cost me any bombard, but I was feeling cocky! Hope that is okay?

Need to go now - we have guests tonight - so will look at ANZAC tomorrow.

I suppose a good rule is to always avoid any lazy shortcuts. :-)

Happy to do it all again and scramble your fighters instead. Just say the word.

@wittmann:

I also feel for Dukla. He keeps having to play the oldies at 42 and he is crying out for soe. 1914 action. I would play.

It’s up to you and Mark!

@wittmann:

Am annoyed at myself that I did not block, like I did last turn.

I looked at whether you could block again when I did the US on the previous turn and did not think you could. Perhaps I was wrong.

@wittmann:

You need some little ray of hope. Perhaps, I have inadvertently given you half a chance!

Now all I need is the other half a chance and I’ll be happy. See what you can do, there’s a good chap! :wink:

Bugger - good ANZAC result in sz55, but forgot to attack Celebes - will start again!
