I failed to specify this before, so you have a right to deny
I wish I had stated I was travelling through Z11 and Z17 to establish retreat routes, but I didn’t.  Will you grant this now?  If not, I understand - my only option will then be back to Z18.  17 would be much better to avoid the sub

[souL]

I wil grant you your retreat, it’s what I expected.  Just give me a gimme when it comes, yeah?

I will lose the cv/dd.

Well that was backward, you do it.

:wink:

[gamerman01]

Sorry - man - looks like you should have done it yourself

I’ll remember the courtesy

Although I’m going to keep going so may not be retreating anyway…

Tough decision - but American fighters are probably a lot more important at this point than my fleet out of position in 17

Well, that takes some of the sting out, huh
I guess I will retreat to 17 now and get my hit point back and get out of range of UK air…
You can land your plane in Gib or Alg

Oh, it’s Lucky!  I thought it strange that SouL would wink there

Looks like you are having a good day Gamerman  :-)  Maybe it is to reward for the terrible roll you took against Karl.

Cheers

Nope, gonna finish it

Yes, a very good day  :-)
And yes I pay my dues from time to time  :-)

Z12 cleared - victorious Italian battleship stands off the rock of Gibraltar, awaiting a horrible fate from the RAF.  But will she take out another destroyer or fighter on the way to the bottom?

For the record, granting me the retreat option almost saved you that fighter.  If you hadn’t granted, I would definitely not retreat.  As it happened, it didn’t matter either way….  but thanks anyway

Just noticed the Italian tanks in Poland were positioned right under the German infantry.  Sometimes people mistake Italian tanks for German tanks and that can be a big problem, so on this map I moved them to the corner of Poland to help distinguish.

maybe a sub, that was the entire reason it was mobilized in that region.  When you left the comfort of the med, my goal was to make you move south or go down swinging.  I wasn’t going to let you unite fleets in sz 7, should you have desired it.

With that move I expected to do a few things and they’ve all been done, minus the eventual sinking of this bb/trn. The sov sub was there to maybe keep an American plane alive but unfortunately their own ineptitude killed them.  It was nice to rescue those Brits from that desolate rock for certain.

If that happens to take an american plane with it, that shall be an unfortunate side effect, but the raf has more important things to do than to sully its hands with such… rabble.

[gamerman01]

I’m not sure I know what you mean…
Did I do anything wrong?

[gamerman01]

Besides getting lucky?

[souL]

No I just wanted to take the turn but was on my phone so I instead commented.
