If you attack with your subs I’ll remove the fighters first - painful though that is.

[Private-Panic]

Well - I am having to rethink my attempts to gain the north Atlantic!

Was determined to treat Africa as a distraction, but perhaps not now.

Making hard work of winning this game!

[Witt]

There will always be an England!

[Private-Panic]

Would you have tried those air attacks on the north Atlantic fleet? Two now and both went badly wrong!

But I did the same early in the game and won!

And it was the surprise crossing of the Indian Ocean by the US which floored my African campaign. You out-thought me there.

So perhaps it should be “there will always be an England provided it gets the luck of the dice and is rescued by the Yanks”?

[Witt]

Last turn’s Attack, yes. (Worth the risk.)
I thought this one was safe for me, so not this last one.
US is only collecting 50 a tirn now, though.
