Naturally you’re gonna want to scramble, so I set that up.

I got two hits with the subs, and assigned them to the destroyers (you still have more, so that was a no-brainer).

Now i got 3 more hits with the rest.  Where would you like them?

Got ten hits in round 1.  Which is good, because I desperately needed that.

Where do you want them?  Oh, and I scrambled the USA planes - we can change that later with an edit if you’d like.

Oh shoot.  I just realized that in my despair over your amazing defense vs Italy and my poor showing on offense, I clicked through casualties in round 2 of that battle without looking and apparently damaged another carrier.

How would you like to proceed?  It was my mistake, so I’ll accept whatever remedy you find acceptable.

Thanks!  That’s very kind of you.
