After 3 rounds of the fighters chasing each other around the skies, while the bombers press on to their targets, the He-100's finally get the drop on the Spitfire II's and dispatch them into the drink.

Axis stay, how about the Allies?

Allies abort.

The Allied AA gunners are on the money, aborting the Erone and causing the Gabbiano's to scatter their bombs (lowest 1 of 2, 9 & 7).

Axis gunners are less impressive, only managing to put a small fraction of the Stringbag pilots off their torpedo runs (lowest of 5: 8, 4, 1, 8, 7).

Another Allied Trans needs some serious time in the bodyshop.

Where do the Allies wish to place the second D?

Break for a bit now as Strictly is on.

The venerable String-bags from the RN press home their attacks on the Scharnhorst with relentless precision. She survives the initial wave but the follow-up strike seals her doom.

Where would the Allies like to place the A?

For some reason I never got this email. I thought it was simply delayed but it has still not arrived.

The attacks prove too much for the Kapitan of the Hipper, who breaks off and heads for port.

I presume the Allies stay for another round?

I did 6 rolls as I didn't know how many the AA was going to want but whatever it was going to be, it wouldn't be more than 6. Since it turned out to be lowest 1 of 2, I applied the first 2 rolls out of the 6 generated, 9 & 7.

I suspect that the 'b' above is the explanation to why I didn't get the email. [:)]

I do them one at a time because I thought I was a bit of a thicky and embarrassed that I didn't know.[:D]

If peeps are happy to do that and always take the first then that is fine by me.

The FAA, scraping the barrel found a few old Blackburn Skua's lying around. Beggars can't be choosers so they threw them into the fight and this paid dividends with a precision attack on the Scharnhorst.

I know I'm a bit of a thicky and have been bluffing it up until now. You have just unmasked my 'generate an overkill of die rolls that are "applied in sequence" until MWiF stops asking for another roll' ploy. Damm you, sir [&o].

Back to business, did the Allies wish to add the Harrow or Whitley this time around?
