That was an accident to run Jehol first - it was not actually amphibious - whoops

Will be home in minutes…

OK, had to make appearance at wife’s Christmas party, here, opening file now

I won’t argue that I would have lost a plane… It’s a tough call

Both land on Kiangsu

Definitely thought about it, it will take time for that carrier to repair, but I will go with the damaged carrier, plus don’t want to take advantage of knowing I got 2 hits - -

Thanks!

Yeah, I am harder to predict on losses than most…

Sorry that wasn’t clear enough - damage the carrier like you did, yes

Oh my word, I was going to tell you and never did post it.

I thought about that before, and I thought you were going to slam a US plane into it, but to give advance OOL would be to plant the idea in your head that was probably already there.

So with UK airstrike, where, oh, you got a 5th plane there,
maximum defense, lose carrier first

Terribly sorry. I didn’t see the British post or I would have seen that you were waiting.
