The Gibraltar attack was exciting and had to be done! I'm sure the Allies exhaled deeply after that die roll.

Yes, I did. It was even more terrifying since the CW plan to reinforce The Rock during the previous end of turn went down the drain because of an error in MWIF, or the CW commander.

Last attack is Lille

Allied choice of tables

Should be a 3:1 +3 as ENG and supporting unit has been designated, first loss will be on ENG

No. MWIF is correct in that the odds was 3:1 +2. The reason for this is because the blitz option and the two factories in Lille.


Cut from RAC:
11.16.1 Declaring combats
....
Option 39: (Blitz bonus) -1 to the land combat die roll
if attacking a 2 or 3 factory stack. [Clarification. Only printed
factories provide this benefit - Nov. 29, 2007.]

Edit: Glad that it didn't make any difference. [:)]

Yes, Glad the roll made this mute, saved hours of confusion.

This -1 is still balanced out by the use of the ENG then. GER would have still made that attack with this knowledge.

The German pilots spot the Allied ships, and the ships seems oblivious to the danger above. (Axis rolls 3, Allies 10)

How will Germany proceed?

Reserve 5 SP

Please place NAV in 3 box as Front Bomber

[Orm]

Yea. That went well... for the Axis.
