G1 AB goes on Holland with 3 ftrs to, “protect” the surviving BB. It’s really just a challenge to UK for a fight. They can def take out the BB if they want, but at the cost of their remaining boats and some/all planes. And there is the sub convoying in 109 that needs to be dealt with.

G3, take Scotland with your 3 trns and boats. G4 take Ireland along with London to eliminate all landing spots for US bombers.

The AB in Holland will “protect” the BB, and then will protect your boats from US AC planes after London falls.

I feel like if I were the allies seeing this strategy, all kinds of bells and whistles would be going off, but I can easily see most players playing right into what you want them to do - because in theory it makes sense to do it.

Again, if UK goes Gibbastion, this won’t work and you will change course by G2.

@dawgoneit There were few of the scrambles, but all of them 94% or more. Please check if any of those seems you would have scrambled and let me know, we could probably somehow reroll one battle?

I don’t know if it’s the right call, but I’ll take 1 hit on carrier, 1 on fighter.
