That bad dice in the Naval combat changes my plan for Germany.  Bad outcome!  No problem with the edit.

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 :(

And your sub surviving is fine btw if they finally start to NOT permanently hit:D

Sir, you have posted too early. Convoy roll not done.
I expect a whiff or 1 max anyway but you never know^^

[JDOW]

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

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

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

[JDOW]

TripleA certainly gives retreat options which cannot be take, I had such an example before.

Anyway, I asked Gamerman and I need to go to bed now.

Let the war pause for today:)

Good night, Sir!
