Good dice for me that turn. Even better than required, I could not fully benefit from that unexpected whiff round 2 at 92 because now one plane needed to crash.

But that bloody sub at 37 hit 3 convoy damage for the 5th time in a row :x

[JDOW]

Sir, one tiny edit, please. Unaffected by dice of course. I’d like to have on blocker at 45 instead of 55. I can edit that later.

Frankly, I am glad to hear that finally your German headquarter gets confronted with such problems^^

But I think the battle wasn’t too far off. I guess just 1 hit above average. As said, the net score was “just” +56 as one plane crashed and +43 was average.

If you had lost one more ship, there would be no reason to scramble… anyway, Scrambles Sir?

[JDOW]

Tired of sending my fighters into certain death at a bad ratio. 35 attack = 6 sure hits for the Luftwaffe.

So I skip scrambling this time.

Both subs, however fighter for the first round. I have a feeling that they will kill your sub by surprise strike and my boats will score 2 hits on your planes then! :)

Bad luck :wink:

[JDOW]

CMON, a complete whiff?

Dude, your Germans are just invincible, unbelievable.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Yeah, you should have killed the sub :)

[JDOW]

Or the sub and a plane maybe?
Will your Germans EVER experience anything which is not above average or in worst case average?

Sigh. My whining continues :(

Please note, I am not sure whether you can retreat your sub in this case. I need to check.

Good question.  If I cant, then in stays next to Gibraltar.  TripleA gave me the option to retreat or not.
