@JDOW:

And why didn’t you send your US bombers from London to sz91 to support the destroyer? Forgot it?

In case you wanna send them in, just let me know. So the DD will die as my sub got the hit but I would allow you to roll 2 dice in the forum @4 in order to kill the sub (unless you wanted to send your bombers elsewhere and did not let them support 91 on purpose)

I could roll those dice on the forum if you like.

please roll the dice for the bomber and yes I forgot the bomber.

so the plan is: redo us turn BUT kill off destroyer via edit mode, do midway and unload all, let sub submerge in 91, THEN do unload trannys

improvement is important. I have the first edition rules so I will keep those handy as I move turns.

and I looked on the spreadsheet and youre an elite player - that’s really good!!

about subs and stuff:

I am on the us turn. your Italian sub sunk my destroyer and so I eventually retreated.
secondly - do you want your midway sub to submerge or stay?

I don’t want to mess up the battles so that’s why I’m asking you.

Hitler a biography by ian Kershaw.
next is the rise and fall of the third reich by that guy a long time ago
then the book I think its called clash of reds - how the reds beat the germans

I own the first edition and I see that this edition exists. What are the main differences that I need to know? Can I walk in with my first edition strategies and fare well in this game? How are the strategies different and how is the setup different?
