Scramble anything to 111?
Thank you

Just remembered your edit I said I’d do - I’ll make a note and have it in there before R2

Wow! That surprised me. You are not boring.
Perhaps you will be rewarded, big time.

Grey and brown ships hit 0/5 on UK1 in 111 and 96…

Will the luftwaffe remedy the situation, or will the losses be multiplied?

I put the 2nd ANZAC infantry on Queensland, I don’t think you said where to put it. You can change it to a different Australian territory during Russian play if you want
