I need to pay more attention... I left 2 Anzacian fighters on New Zealand last round... ugh.

[Antholin]

Sorry, the map for continued combat.

[Antholin]

Units adjusted & placed, all non-com done. Germany collects 54 IPC's at turn 3 end. Thus Germany thrust into bloody conflict by their unyielding Italian allies.

USSR...

[Antholin]

I was just checking the map, and it appears that my placements were not saved. I have revised the map, and it now shows my 10 Infantry placement in Germany, along with 3 U-boats in SZ105, and 1 Destroyer in SZ93.

I am sorry for the confusion.

[Stalingradski]

J - SZ109 is protected by an airbase - I could have scrambled 3 fighters into the SZ. Based on what you brought, I would have. All the rest of the battles should stay as they are, but please redo SZ109. You'll need to bring enough stuff to make sure I don't want to scramble... 

[Antholin]

I'm sorry about that. I had it stuck in my head that you could only scramble if I had brought in some air power of my own. However, I had already committed the Luftwaffe to Eastern front actions, and its too late to redo those. So, scramble away and I'll commit with what I had originally.

Again, I apologize for that. Now the scramble rules will be aptly applied to my future moves.

[Antholin]

Here is the combat for SZ109 with your 3 scrambled Fighters, along with the Destroyer. I have the Cruiser & 1 U-boat.

I'm not sure what unit you want to lose, as it can be either a Fighter or the Destroyer, since my Cruiser made the hit. Just let me know and I can adjust the map accordingly.
