All misses. Roller had Kiel but obviosuly it was the Hamburg raid incorrectly identified. Near enough

Here is the save for the Allied stay at sea. Axis instructions will follow. Unsure when.

Re: Empires in Flames (4-player game)
Hello Lads, from the 2 June until 24 July I will be on a holiday in Europe for my once in a life time overseas adventure. I will be doing tours of Normandy D Day beaches and the Somme while in France among a lot of other things. Some good things to do in England, Duxford war museum and Blexley Park. I had intended to take my laptop and continue gaming while away however I have decided my time would be better spent on having a holiday and keeping my wife happy. This will mean my gaming activities will have to be put on hold from the start of June until my return. I'm happy to continue the games then if you are willing. Apologies if this causes you any issues.
