Did you catch the edit?  I saw that naval base as I was posting.

OK.  Lose the two tilted carriers and the cruiser.

Actually, lose the two tilted carriers and tilt the last one.

Lose the destroyer and the tilted carrier.

Yea, I wasn’t gonna scramble.  Looks like that’s it, then!

I don’t think I’ve ever won this way before.

I gotta agree, dice have been a HUGE factor in this game on both sides.  When I lost the German airforce all at once, I was sure I had lost.  It wasn’t until I annihilated the Allied navy that I thought I had a chance, but even then, I knew I was on a clock.

Sadly, this is only my 6th game this season!  So we could do the rematch, but it wouldn’t count for a while yet.  Want to do it anyway?

Works for me.  Same bid as before?
