Karl7 (Allies + 9) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) - G40.2

[Karl7]

Italy did pretty good.  I got killed of Sicily.  Your sub lives because my surface ships missed.

[miamiumike]

So - looking it over - what was your thinking in attacking sz95 instead of sz97?

MM

[Karl7]

more units to kill, also good retreat for cv to join french.

[Karl7]

I think the game evened up with the blundering of the UK in the med.

[miamiumike]

ITaly making change to purchase before roll - instead of the FTR - buying a DD
