Scramble up to 3 fig in sz110 and/or 1 fig in sz111?  Send OOL for FRA at least for round 1 of die rolls.  Use computer default best defense or modify it with special orders for aa and UK vs Fra units.

Terrible Ger naval battles. Had 2-1 odds by Canada, but lost both subs and gave no hits.  Lost far too many aircraft.  Yugo rolled poorly, but that was meaningless since Ger was going to win anyway and the losses were cheap units.

Hey, bismarck, if you’re new to this, just letting you know most people only post the combat move when the opponent has a scramble, intercept, and/or submerge decision, otherwise you can just post once whole turn is finished.

This is depressing for Ita to roll badly in every battle after Ger’s terrible rolls.  Ita attacked with more units and higher total attack in all 3 battles, yet missed completely in round 1 (0 for 12, excluding bombardment 3 for 3).  Every Fra defender in S. Fra and SZ93 inflicted a hit.  Made the only attacks I could with combined UK in W. Med a potential threat everywhere in the Med.

Supermen French again.  I’ve got to take my moves first in my other game.
