@pacifiersboard lays out a gambit of a +42 all UK bid.

That’s a
DD 91
SS 98
Tactical bomber Scotland
Bomber Gibraltar
and 5 IPCs to London

I have XX748, is it compatible?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that

Scramble decision imminent!

I would be confident that will be fine.
It sounds like those versions are just days apart

I shouldn’t have said imminent. I’m trying new things, and it’s almost dinner time, but I’ll have it before long

I have been on one whale of a bad streak

This G1 showed why you should seriously consider taking all ground, and even more than one air at Paris. Although my aircraft did almost nothing. Fortunately, no AA, Yugo only hit once, Paris TUV actually slightly above average because French defense not very strong,

but thanks for the warning lol

Hmmmm
Imagine those aircraft over the English channel against 3 scrambled. Death.
