Yeah, SZ98, sorry. The fighter is from SI. By my count, it can attack SZ98 and land in either Tobruk or Lbya.

Anywhoo, on to the main event.

Nevermind, they rolled 6’s anyway, wouldn’t have made a difference.

The fighters roll at 4, not three. Sorry man, I think we better roll sz112 again.

The sub, the dd, the cruiser, and 1 fighter.

I’ll scramble the fighters.

Before you start rolling though, it is my understanding that planes can in no circumstances hit subs (even with the dd present). We can waive that rule for this game if you like, it makes little difference to me. But if not, it makes you SZ91 attack dicier, which means you may want to devote more navy to it, which means less for the Bismarck, which means perhaps your whole strategy changes.

Up to you, I always played it where anything can hit subs so long as a dd was present until I was corrected in another forum game.

But yeah, Goring is adamant… SCRAMBLE THE FIGHTERS!!!

Forgot to place purchases on the map.
