[TeK]

this is for the report coming up...

shokaku got it again, i have no idea why more zeros didnt scramble that time, a mere 6 scrambled...morale is good and fatigue is only 19, yet only 6/60 scrambled (60 - give or take)...with full CAP on....maybe i got another bug and it switched that on me, like with that 20,000 foot full escort nonsense that i didnt order

[TeK]

oh well, now its just 7 vs 6 carriers...scratch shokaku, even if she makes it she'll be severely damaged, she can make it right now but she'll be out for at least a year, if she takes even 1 more bomb though thats the end

[Fishbed]

Bolt move - but so far, except for the Shokaku, some bad luck/bugs (and lucky fortress) you're putting a pretty good show. Let's see if it will be enough to occupy Caledonia for good. Hebrides should be untenable for Marky after that!

that bug that sets my fighters to escort at 20,000...is that known at all to stay the entire game? cause i just checked and they were bugged again...i think that explains why only 6 zeros scrambled that one time....it was 6/60 and morale and fatigue were absolutely fine

[TeK]

well were starting a new game anyways
