Ok, I’m running into a bit of an issue. Prior to rolling any dice, I changed my mind about how many fighters to send to 110, and I can’t seem to edit in another fighter there without getting “can’t add air units to water without sufficient space.”

I am sending two fighters and one bomber there, by the way.

TheMethuselah

No scramble. Mussolini cries softly to himself…
