The AAs did their job protecting the planes. Now since the French cruiser is sunk….

L O L and here I was, thinking that a CR can block the subs (boy, must have looked weird to you). I am still too much in the old game without DDs.
Re Sea Lion I did not rule it out, thought the fleet would absorb some air. 3 more subs were never calculated looks sheepish -
I mean of course I know that CRs cant. I just sometimes seem to blink it out and fall back.
-
That’s an honest mistake. How about if we pretend that you put the cruiser in z110 instead.
So do you scramble?
-
the only job of the cruisers was to block the subs, doesnt matter in which SZ. I would not have even started to build a fleet, otherwise.
And I am not even sure if its Sea Lion or Novgorod you are after.
But no, my mistake, no excuses. Scramble the three fighters. There is still a chance to take some air with me.

gracious from you.
Sorry to distort this so much. I was hoping you’d use the Italian air for the two cruisers in two SZ, if at all, with a good chance not to take both of them. And without the three subs the attack would have been hard. Thinking was ok I guess, but based on horrible noobness.
-
Ooops almost forgot to move my subs
z102
2 subs from z106map corrected.
-
I don’t think this is distorted at all. It is very much the “Battle of Britain” scenario that comes with the new setup.
-
Actually it wouldn’t have made much difference where you put your ships. I would have sunk it wherever you put it. As soon as you built anything other than infantry, and i was sure I could get the french blocker, I would have decided to go sea lion.
-
No doubt that you would have sunk it totally, agree. I just wanted you to lose as much air as possible in the process, to make Sea Lion harder just in case you tried. You moved your inf away first turn, I was suspicious of a feint, but to be honest I judged that Sea Lion was, all in all, very unlikely. Had the German BB remained, I would not have built a fleet. Well done anyways.
USSR coming up

I think I have 1 too many tacs on West germany. There should be 3.
