Port Strike on Kiel with Harrow, surprise roll 8.

Axis decision on AA required & preferred target choices.
Appears an obvious yes to me given the surprise roll because the AA isn't there sightseeing but having not played with you guys before I don't know what liberties I can take regarding Axis reactions so until I am comforatable I may ask some dumb questions .
