yuh, the book really isn’t ambiguous about that.  That was why I wanted both fighters on one flattop so I had a cannon fodder boat.

just a bump

I dont know about huge impact, but hey, I should be able to build a UK fleet this turn too, screened by the USSR CVs, good stuff.

Gonna make an observation while I think about this move. Not really sure what i’m going to do.

I think I lost (ed.still to be determined) this game when the UK attack on the Italian fleet went tits up.  Now, I’m not complaining about the dice here, both of us have gotten bent odds the whole game.  My observation is this:  there was some chance of the UK getting smoked in that battle, as happened.  The fact that it happened has revealed that that what I thought of as strategy (take out Italy’s fleet to limit their income and effect on the game) was actually a gambit, because the UK put itself into a position where by losing that battle they eliminated themselves from the game.

This is a paradym change for my normal thinking, which is that a battle that is “good odds”, define them how you will, is worth fighting because it should hurt your enemy worse than you.  This battle has revealed that a decisive battle at good odds that results in the loss of the game isn’t good enough odds.
