Yeah, I hate Sea Lion with a burning passion. But no UK units purchased at home first round is a go button. If the Italian bomber hadn’t been shot down, it was 98%+ odds with multiple tanks surviving at a medium transport investment. Can’t pass that up. Though with how the dice played out it wouldn’t have made a lick of difference…
I’m going to lick my wounds for a bit and then will get a new thread going tomorrow.
Do you want the bid placed the same way or modified?
