Sorry, I wanted to sink the trn in SZ 35 as well. I had some planes left, so I removed it by editing.

Yes, this is kind of hopeless. It was a long shot at best already, but missing that Russian sub is a mistake that cost me around 200 ICP’s……
And that is not something I can get back from this far behind. So the Axis surrender. Again…

Yes, but I would sink the fleet in the Med without to much cost, so that offsets again. I can hold out in Europe for quite some rounds more, but Japan is not in a good enough position to win. That is why it is hopeless.
