The SS Talisman have no graphic art?....that's strange.

Yea, that's the shil in my folder that I have for the T-class subs (338). But maybe I messed up the install somehow.

[ctangus]

ORIGINAL: Nikademus

now his Force H (Gibralter) carrier force has also been spotted and attacked.

Missed me! [:'(]

[Nikademus]

Missed you? Gosh....we were just giving your vehicle a free washing. All that sand....makes everything so MESSY!

[ctangus]

During that attack the Fleet Air Arm shot down 7 enemy bombers for no loss of their own. They might just try something a little more audacious tomorrow. Total aircraft losses for the day were 4 good guys vs. 15 Barneys - I think it's the first day I came out on top.

Malta damage remains at 0/0.

I have a couple questions for more knowledgable folks. I was looking over the FAA units and while the Swordfish has a range of 8/11, the Albacore has a range of 4/5. I thought I've read that the Albacore had slightly longer legs than the Swordfish? Also, the Martlett has a range of 3/4 - or 120 miles extended range. Should that be upped, too?

[Nikademus]

whoops.....sounds like someone forgot to convert to 30 mile hexes when they added the Albacore......no idea who that might have been.........[:D]

Add at least three sources that nobody else has ever heard of, and drop a few names...

Very active day. My convoy reaches Tripoli safely while two British pincers suffered continuous naval attack. Particularily grevious harm was done by the Experten in their wunderful flying machines (Bf-109's)
