At times it eludes me why I even bother with ground strikes.

Did make pictures of four of the automatic attacks, and messed one up. 4 out of 5 is better than my ground strike ratio.

Turn ends on a 2 (1-8 to end).

Sending a save from the reorganization step for US entry, and stuff.

Do you want to have Axis instructions for the end of turn this time as well? And, if so, would you prefer Axis stay at sea and return to base instructions as well?
