You can’t place your fighter on an ally’s carrier
Please place it on an IC before your German turn, thanks

[wheatbeer]

I wasn’t able to land one of the fighters that originated in Paris and attacked Normandy in SZ97 since the German carrier was incorrectly fully loaded.

The fighter in SZ97 is meant to have originated in Paris via Normandy. The purchased fighter was meant to be mobilized in SITA.

            3 infantry moved from Libya to Tunisia
            1 fighter moved from United Kingdom to 92 Sea Zone
            2 infantry moved from United Kingdom to Scotland

Turn Complete - French

[gamerman01]

Didn’t put it in the Triple A notes, but the French fighter is necessarily on the UK carrier

US CV - USA and UK FTR
UK CV - UK and Fra FTR

[gamerman01]

Cancel that - just realized that your loading the German carrier with a fighter, and moving the Italian carrier away relieves a lot of pressure on 92, so my planned move of French fighter to 92 is unnecessary.  I’ll leave it in London

[gamerman01]

Great game!

[wheatbeer]

Agreed.

Allied focus in Europe is a very different beast than the traditional contain-Japan strategies.

[gamerman01]

It remains to be seen whether I know what I’m doing

Your luftwaffe has been otherworldly

[gamerman01]

2 infantry, artillery, tank, 2 destroyers, cruiser, battleship
All with pure air, 1 fighter lost
That’s making things difficult

[wheatbeer]

I’m up 3 German fighters in Middle East battles, but these localized bailouts for Italy have a huge impact. If Iraq had gone the opposite way, Italy would have been crippled already.

[gamerman01]

Up 3 from average
There was a chance they would have gone as poorly for you as they went well

Ah, well, it’s part of the game.  Air strikes are high risk/reward, and you got rewarded a couple times.  Always hard to take, but the main thing is to not over-react or lose focus  :-)

[gamerman01]

I need to think about an overall strategy at this point - going through motions and not coordinating the efforts of the allies will lead to a sure loss of potency  :-)
