@Ghostglider:

Please use latest map - needed more defense for the UK-fleet.

I guess I downloaded your map too fast
Doesn’t look like it affected what I actually did…. if you emptied out the Med, edit me 5 IPC’s to Italy
I used your first map - please make your UK edits again and proceed

[gamerman01]

Here, I’ll do it.  If the Gib fighters and destroyer are the only changes, then this next map will be correct.

Aha!  A true gamer - more attempted misdirection

We both know you’re hoping I’ll miss that you can raid my transports in 113

[gamerman01]

@Ghostglider:

z26: 4 ANZ FTRs on 2 US AC’s

Man, that’s off the hook.  And 8 US carriers already?  Wow

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

We both know you’re hoping I’ll miss that you can raid my transports in 113

Never mind.  On second look, you can only attack with 4

[Ghostglider]

You had 60+% chance against my fleet in the first map if you had made a combined Italy/Germany attack. Huge difference that you hit two on defense. This minor problem might be eliminated for the rest of the game with the French ready to grab any leftovers… 8-)

[gamerman01]

OK!  Sounds good to me, and especially my poor Italians

[gamerman01]

And I’d have to risk a bomber against 4 1’s, plus crash my Italians into your fleet hoping for the 50/50 bomber run to succeed, plus buy 2 aircraft carriers with Germany?  You’re getting too conservative, man

[gamerman01]

It’s our roundly casualty choice in Rostov……
Keeping the AA or not?

[Ghostglider]

How many hits in round 1?

[gamerman01]

The average 5 - you would have 3 units left

[Ghostglider]

Keep aa

[gamerman01]

Of for……

You hit 3 times, then I hit TWO

Keeping AA and I have to move in, or keeping infantry?

[Ghostglider]

keep INF - you have to fight your way in!
