Alright, FINALLY, you can get going. And don’t worry, I’m starting to think you’re right, this game is worth playing much longer.
Your defense was actually a 3 there, sorry about that. Hits anyway.

Yes, I was worried that UK transport was not sunk, in which case I’d have to sink it. I started rolling Rostov anyway because maybe the job could be done regardless. Anyway, thanks again, let me get this turn done finally.

Actually, sorry, nvrmd the Italian NC. I’m losing my mind with this game.
BTW, forgotten battle: WG tank takes Denmark.
Forgotten Italian NC: SI aa to NI
Alright, I’ll stop there. One more bomber fires in Rostov IF I am correct that that UK transport is sunk.
If it is not, I must use that bomber to sink it, and this battle continues.
2 German art. take Scotland.

So you get three hits, 2 by planes. Planes can’t hit subs, but the carrier could, and the carrier got a hit. But in such a scenario I would choose to submerge… then again, do I even need to? I could allocate the carrier hit to my dd, and one of the planes hits to my cruiser, making the 2nd fighter hit useless. All that is left are planes and subs, so my subs resumes attacking to sink the transport, and in the end there is nothing left in sz98 but the sub. Have I got that right?
NC
-2 inf., 1 art., 1 aa to Paris

So the seazone is cleared, and I’ll assume you land the planes in Cairo.
Alright, simplifies things a bit then.

Obviously I mean sz98: Can I retreat the whole navy after a single sneak shot?
Thanks for the kind words, this has been a memorable game. I would love to have an immediate rematch, you’ve certainly proved to be someone I can’t take lightly (after all, you know the rules!)
PHI taken with 2 inf., 2 art.

Why can’t the whole game be as easy as a J1 attack?
(BTW, I probably would like the opportunity to use a kamikaze or two if you attack sz6. Thx)
