Oh! I missed that that was a final turn post in there. OK, I1 probably tonight

Very interesting post game comments, pretty much requires a quick look!

UK had an awfully good roll round 1 on Sealion defense, reaching nearly double the number of expected hits,

All the German resources used to buy 9 transports, 2 air lost to AA, another lost on the bombing run on G2, the Russians could never be tamed.
Not a criticism! I see a lot of great play. More of a commentary that it’s surprising how succeeding taking London even without a highly risky battle seems to be fool’s gold. Wow. I mean, you even cut all funding to a UK1 IC in Egypt and it wasn’t enough.

Now glancing at US placements, yeah. In a cursory review, it seems Sealion won you the game. It pulled so much USA IPCs to the Atlantic, and Japan won. Oversimplified, probably, but cursory review from the outside.

Friendly rules point - all amphibious assault battles must be rolled before the rest…

1. Strat Bombing
2. Amphibious
3. All others

No worries for the UK1

What?? What a dramatic battle. We’ve already had several

I really appreciate you waiting, and also for verifying rules

Yes, that’s right! What devastating English speaking sailors under the waves! They were paying attention in submariner school.

I’ll still lose the sub, so that the battleship can get another chance

Sub will still fight, but will submerge if it becomes sub v sub (if bomber hits battleship)

Lol that decision was a pain and you saw me waffle

Let’s see…

If you havent rolled yet, subs fight but wait if I lose 1

No, subs submerge. Then you don’t have to wait on me either

No scramble, and subs fight in round 1

I don’t feel like forecasting contingencies right now, so please ask again if I lose a sub and you go another round

Thanks!!
