[gamerman01]

Well that sucked except Canada went fine

[JDOW]

Yeah, the first time the US did hit ANY defense roll actually in the Pac^^. But still, you can afford it:)
We talked about decisive early battles. I was thinking if there were any in our game. The only thing I have in mind is the 97 battle IT1. What if this ends up in a disaster for IT as it was only 50%? I think this was the only one which could have influenced the dynamics in Europe. The rest were cumulations of little tactical and strategical errors and the exploits of them.

I have to say I did not expect you being so stubborn about Alaska and Canada.

SZ1 :-/
I did consider to make a draw and to protect sz10 vs 1 DD, but not vs 2! :-/ I really do NOT want to move the Anzac DD in the wrong direction :-/

[gamerman01]

Well that really sucks
I forgot to put air on the carrier in 36, and overlooked a sub that I was counting dead and you are getting maximum mileage from that dicing in 44
May you get 1 hit in 36 and lose the bomber trying to follow up!  :evil:

[gamerman01]

I guess if the sub gets a hit (or 2) it won’t matter that I didn’t land air on it
Ah well

[JDOW]

You did not get punished :-/
The carrier did not get tipped so the UK bomber won’t have a finishing shot on it.

And SZ1 totally screwed my plans. I overlooked the Bombers in Japan when doing the purchases. Now the US is struggling at all to protect the fleet in SZ10, LOL.
So I’d say that should somehow equalize Celebs, we are even, ok? ;)
