@simon33:

@Amon-Sul:

pretty bad dices for British.

a disaster  :?

Your Taranto was 52% your way with the scramble I did.

I would be happy with the draw. Even with just destroying Ur navy. This how I am pretty set back early on.

But U are right. Next time I need to go more aggressive on Sz 97 if I want a clear win.

Good move.
