@farmboy feel free to adjust

@farmboy will do my turn tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

I will be attacking Pearl Harbor. Still finalizing the other moves.

1. scramble?
2. if the bomber hits on turn one, lose the destroyer or the fighter (assuming scramble)?

@farmboy no problem. Will do round by round. If my subs get 1 hit on round 1, lose your sub?

@farmboy please confirm the scramble and if the American sub fights turn 1.

triplea_40891_9scramble j.tsvg

I did a practice fight without the dice server and I got absolutely destroyed in most of these battles. Let’s see if I can do better when it counts.

no need for turn by turn, my units had great luck on turn 1…
