Well, that could have gone very wrong for me. I must confess I didn’t see the possibility of Italy buying a carrier and allowing the fighters to take part in the battle. I am glad I got away with it.

I realized you didn’t use my edited save with the UK fighters being in Syria instead of Trans-Jordan, I will edit that at the start of ANZAC’s turn if that’s still OK with you.

Sorry for forgetting to comment about the fighters on carriers. Will start doing that from now on 👍

I realize it might be hard to be patient, but I must play Oysteilo next and it’s a monster move that I need a chunk of time and energy for, thanks

We agreed that you can take as long as you want, so no worries about patience 😀 I don’t mind waiting here at all. I’ll just send friendly reminders in case you forget about the game (which is something that happens to me more often than not 😅).

Thanks, those are nice words -
the dice can make a player look like a genius, or the opposite!

I made the edits,
and even though I played against the situation that was later edited, I’ll leave it since I had poor dice and the change doesn’t affect me too much.
I’m not leaving the transport in 97, though.

@VictoryFirst Always calculate all possible fighters that can reach in relation to the income of how many carriers the attackers can produce. Also be weary of the allied combo drops. Example. If italy has control of southern France, they drop a carrier on their turn, Germany sends fighters from Western Germany for example to 91 or 92 and land there in 93.
