Good grief. Well that was some oversight. Thought the UK tank & inf in Alexandria had retreated to defend Egypt.

Oh yeah, also Kamis?

@simon33

Hm, return of the Normandy did not go per plan.

@Daaras No, this does not make sense anymore. It is impossible for Germans to take London, and that slight Egypt possibility is gone due to that stupid mistake of allowing you to sing everything.

It is difficult to break into fortress Europe, true, but Japan is collapsing quickly.

I surrender. It was an interesting game in the end :)

“best outcome of AC and plane and tac units left without falling into the water if you retreat” That would be 6 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 1 tac, and 1 fighter (10 losses total). Please confirm, modify, or request additional time. If I don’t get an answer, I will proceed with the decision tomorrow.
