BM3 Karl7 (Allies) vs simon33 (Axis) Game II

Escorting fighters roll at a 2. You’ll need to re-do the attack roll.

1942.2 has attackers roll a one and defenders roll at a 2 but gives the defenders a first strike. The BM rules are the best ones of any version.

hmm… no scram, keep bombers until very end

I think I needed a scramble for that attack to make sense. Should have just focused on the fleet.
