i thought it was ok for reinforcing if it hadnt been in combat, but i see from rules you are right

in that case i’ll move that fighter from morocco to Bulgaria

map to follow

now i’m not sure what happens
you need to decide which fighter lives, US or UK

both my bombers die - expensive business

but sub lives
i presume the sub also sinks the transport

gamble pays off. that’s a dead BB by sneak attack. that is pretty sick

2 bombers

ok. i’m consolidating in east and going hard at that fleet in z2

there are no destroyers so can you just help me with the order of rolls
subs on both sides get free shot
remove casualties
air can’t hit subs and vice versa
that continues until there are no more subs
so if we get started you’ll need to give me a survival order

have think while i post the moves

now looked at USA
all looks fine (except if you’re germany)
however, i think you are used to losing philippines on 1st round
USA is at 40IPC with 15NOs. (hopefully i’ll get that on jap2)
You should collect 55 not 48

this map should have solved all outstanding issues

now, god knows how i balance attack and defence on G2

AA41_Manstein_Boldfresh+6_01fUSA.AAM

you’re right
but there should be a transport there (the one that came from japan and dropped tank and inf in fukien
on the map you’ve filed you hadn’t killed the infantry.
this should show transport but not troops in sz61

hope that doesn’t change anything for you

if not i’ll have a look at your usa1

AA41_Manstein_Boldfresh+6_01fUSA.AAM

sorry i wrote inf/art attacking when it was (as i stated in orders) inf/arm, so rolls were correct. i also forgot the fighter. i’ll get the hang of this in a moment.
