I’ll need scramble orders in 112.

Definitely the right choice in 26. And no problem about missing the post. I panicked momentarily that you might be able to open the Soviet blocker with the Japanese bombers and then realized I could land British or Australian air to act as blockers if necessary.

And yeah, only the dice can save me now.  My odds in India are 1/7 but winning there probably doesn’t delay you more than a turn, if that. And my odds in Hawaii are between 1/50 and 1/100. A win there might be more consequential. Again sorry to drag this out on very faint hopes.

Me1945 brings in the big guns. :-D

scored one hit to three of yours the first time. I should have stopped and posted after the one hit (apologies for not) I will likely continue but wanted to check with you on your casualty choice. We can continue with forum dice if need be or I can edit a change of casualties and continue.
