We save the points until after the air combat.

Fly the FTR3 as a fighter.

The flight order the program gives is good enough.

Swordfish flying as bomber

AX for Allies, AA for Axis.

Save or spend?

We use the points to increase the damage done to the Allied ships.

If we get an X on Allies, then we put it on the CV.

AA screens 6. Aborted the Gabby in the 2 box for you. Where to land?

[Orm]

Syracuse is good enough.

Italy adds 4 pts Shore Bombardment (BB + CA), and Germany add LND3 (return whence) for another 4 pts in ground support for 14:2 in odds.

[Orm]

Discovered a bug here. The German attack should be 7:1 +3. The +1 for only Territorials defending is lacking.

Edit: Do we have a policy on how to handle bugs like this?

Cut from RAC: 22.4.5 Territorials
,,,,
Combat
Add 1 to your die roll for a land attack against a hex in which the only defending land units are territorials (in addition to any modifier for disorganized units). [Clarification. The presence of a notional unit does not cancel this attacker bonus - Jan. 16, 2008.]
