Took a minute to register that the Italians are down to one aircraft.  I’m not used to that.  Figured you wouldn’t scramble, so I cheated one plane away.  Dice were my friend - big time.

So I don’t need a 4th fighter in London…… moved it back to Scotland

[JDOW]

Oh boy, from Hero to Zero. :cry:

[gamerman01]

Very dramatic Allied response…. I almost forgot I did lose a sub in 96… good thing
Big time decisions to make in round 2…

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Big time decisions to make in round 2……

I guess I have it figured out already. Will sleep a night over it and see if I come to the same conclusion tomorrow :)

I haven’t moved ANZ yet…  :-)

mhhh. If that sub at 96 would have won, I would have said we are kind of okish in terms of dice because that would have given me 2 extra ground at Europe.
Now I guess the only good thing after G1 I can look at is that I can be relieved that 93 did not end up in a disaster^^

Lets see what the next turns bring^^

I have guests over the weekend, cannot say when G2 will be done.

[gamerman01]

Will try to get ANZ/Fra done, but need to leave soon for the rest of the day….
