Hi,
If you dont mind I would like to call this one already, somehow I started very badly with Germany and in the pacific. Ill start a new game tomorrow. Hope you dont mind. Thanks for your patience in the matter.

2 of your subs hit my destroyer simultaneously.
I need you to decide to lose your own destroyer (and thereby any chance of returning fire at my airborne forces, but allowing all 3 subs to escape should you want to.), or lose a sub, and continue fighting with your surface vessel.

This isn’t going very well!
I’ll wait for your decision re the engagement in SZ5, in case the WEu landings affect your choice.
-
Lose the DD, keep the subs
-
Ok, in that case your subs should submerge, and my fighters pick off the transport and RTB.

Will your FTR conduct an intercept? If yes, note that you may not use/move it in G3.
-
Yes, I want to use it as an intercept. But it can still move on G3- the rules state that fighters participating can’t be in any other battles that turn…which means that if there was an amphibious assault or a ground battle, my plane could not participate. But it does not tie up my plane for MY German turn-just for the duration of the US turn. This is how it is in the other games as well (G40, Europe, etc).
If you can prove the rules otherwise, then I will keep it grounded.
Thanks!
