I undestand your frustation. It is weird that I received messages in correct order.

Well no, its not weird its correct!!! [;)] What is weird is:

- why the second e-mail was sent one second later
- why I received the second one first - If I had them in the correct order like you, then even though there was a spurrious extra one, I would have reported the sinking and so there would be no problem...[:@]

-Sometimes it took over 5 minutes to send me that email, that was the reason to use "both" so I see result right away

I got the second one first as well, so it wasn't just Warspite1.

Imagine if those rolls would have been generated same time [:D] Which result is the real one.

No problem at all. Then it would have been a re-roll. [:)]

CVPs land on carriers when they are aborted. Then any bombing is done, and can sink aborted CVPs. Only after all bombing is completed do the remaining CVPs land, if there are carriers available. (A carrier could be sunk while all the planes are still in the air.)

The game did things correctly.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

No biggie here...this also happened to Brian and I in our game.

Jt14 meant the dice roller kerfluffle. Confusing when it happens. I always look at 'freeware' like this - you get what you pay for.

The historical CW lost Courageous on turn 1, Glorious on turn 4, and the Ark Royal on about turn ... 13?

Right so applying the 4 to Ark Royal, ignoring the 7 because I never sent it, and applying the 5 to Canarias results in:

Both sides stay. The British bring in no further aircraft. The Luftwaffe has a Me-110c and an Me-109E2 available.

Do they want to bring them in?

The rolls are 3 = Axis and 1 = Allies

The Allies have just one surprise point and so cannot get out of the battle.

Do you wish to put the Condor at the front to slightly improve the odds?

Question to be sure:If Axis abort after the first round, do the planes stay in sea area for third round?

Yes. If they voluntary abort from air combat the aircraft stay in the sea area and are available for next search.

OK thanks. Italian NAV is front bomber. If the best CW fighter is fighting after the first round, remaining Axis NAV's will abort.
