Tough call, but will go ahead and scramble 2 fighters, 1 tac.
OOL: subs, DD, tac, cruiser, fighters
@FMErwinRommel
Thanks. My understanding is that, even for a league game, doing a forgotten combat move into an unoccupied territory would be allowed by the judges.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Italy forgot to sink the transport in sz99 with a fighter. Would you allow me to edit that? Or will I have to use a German plane to sink it on this turn?
Go ahead and edit. I was not counting on that transport surviving to the next UK turn.
Thank you
Editing in the sinking of an unprotected transport to me is like a “walk-in” (blitzing or capturing a unoccupied enemy territory). Perhaps I have just had really good opponent, but I have long assumed such edits were okay without permission. Perhaps I am wrong though.
Since this is our first game, I didn’t want to assume. I agree and consider this a friendly game.
@FMErwinRommel
Good point.
SBR on Moscow with 4 bombers and 2 escort fighters. WIll not scramble your 2 fighters, per your prior statements, since I have twice the attack points and 3 times the planes

Germany needs railroads. Which could be bombed and need AA and fighters.
I don’t know what to do strategically about the U.S./ANZ retreat to Hawaii. My 2 fleets could have overpowered you off of Aust. But a single DD blocker would have stopped it, at least for a turn. I could have combined my fleets, but you could have out-distanced yourself with the naval base. My homefleet was 3 ships and a transport. Certainly no threat to Hawaii. I suppose that since DEI were heavily guarded, there was no sense in you making unsustainable invasions.
There are drawbacks for Japan to concentrate most of the fleets in home waters or Carolines. Perhaps after this game or after the set of games, you might share your state secrets.
