ABH vs Innocentbystander G40

UK’s only actual attack is on the Italian fleet.  You can scramble your fighter.  You might want to.  Maybe not.  I am hitting you with all I’ve got, 1 bomber, 1 tac bomber, 1 fighter.  So…

So you want to scramble and if you do…

…do you want your sub to remain as a “target” for the planes?  You might want to, its up to you.  Or you can just submerge.  Tell me what you want to do.

@Arthur:

So many Russians will be killed or stranded next round.  Twenty units lost makes the battle for Moscow straightforward on G6. If I don’t have bad luck on the bombing runs, the final battle will be quite simple.  I tend to be much more conservative as Russia and keep as many units as possible to stack in the Capitol.

You didn’t lose a single plane at Hunan.  That was big

Unfortunately with the Americans not having any artillery in ANZAC I didn’t have many offensive choices, so I took the easy bonus points for the Philippines.  If nothing else it forces Japan to move the transports backwards.
