@mr_stucifer

8 hits by the allies!

I am down to 2 SS, 1 CA, a tilted BB, 2 figs, 1 tac.

SS got a hit.

[mainah]

American or British CA?

[Stucifer]

@mainah British CA, but may change to carrier depending on the rest of the rolls. Technically I can wait to choose casualties on the submarine strike until you roll the others, tripleA just doesn’t support it due to the way it is coded, unfortunate in edge cases like this

[mainah]

@mr_stucifer
Actually, rule book says sub hits, when they are surprised, roll first, and hits assigned first, as the hits do not get a return shot.

3 more hits. With the CA gone, you have 3 CA’s, tilted BB, CV, 3 figs

@mainah Silly me, I was thinking in the case of still having a destroyer. Since you took Malta I do not think there is any reasonable expectation of me being able to save this fleet. I should have moved those units from Tunisia into Malta, no reason not too, I am not sure why I didn’t. I probably did in my test game lol. Made a similar mistake in another game last play. C’est la vie

Lose 2 cruisers (keep 1 UK) and 1 fighter

Tunis seemed like the appropriate place for the fig. Edit to Algeria if you’d like.

Well, the Axis are back in the game. You are ahead economically by a fair margin. If this had played out differently, I would have had to resign.

Enjoy the family time and the wedding. We will pick it up when you get back.
