I thought for sure that either the bomber in Hawaii or E.Coast with air bases could reach the Aleutians, but no.  So Jpn claims them for now. At least I sank their tt.

I took back those, obvious,  Japanese islands, because you could not reach with your Bombers. Just trying to help my slow winning ally.

ANZ attacking SZ49 Solmons with sub, bomber and 2 ftrs.  Jpn has DD and sub.  Assume Jpn sub wants to submerge since I don’t have a DD.  But checking in case you want sub to help defend DD.

Please ignore the marti for bombing Kiangsu.  I changed my mind about the attack but clicked too fast and couldn’t exit.  If you choose to make me do the raid, then Jpn can intercept with 2 ftrs and we will have to redo the battle.

Thanks, just to clarify your absence, are you already away and not back until April 20th?

U.S. attacking SZ97 with 5 bombers and ftr and 3 subs against Ita DD.  Scramble ftrs?  I made it easy for you, by increasing the odds.  I’ll assume no scramble.

The solo Ita DD hit, the solo Ita mech in Persia hit, and the solo Jpn in Aleut hit.  At least the Stalin AA missed and I inflicted max damage.
