@simon33 Yes, it’s why I went a bit light into Taranto - wanted to save the carrier if I could.

Scramble to defend SZ 97?
(Did scramble to SZ 97 for the US invasion of Sicily and Sardinia because the impossible odds but will gladly fight that battle first.)

@ArtofWar1947 No thanks.

Think that’s game. I guess technically it was game a long time ago, but I was hoping I could ‘stategerize’ my way out of it or most likely delay until I could force some sort of decisive action in the East. I forgot about the carrier scramble to land. I don’t think I can take Southern Italy back given how many planed you can land and the investment it would take from Germany. Nor do I think I can bottle you up with Germany given the amount of planes you have on hand especially if I let you build in Italy.
Thanks for the game I learned a lot! Probably should level up a bit before I try you again.

Thanks for another interesting and challenging game. I enjoyed the quick pace and the novel problems you posed.
