Her sister Queen Elizabeth took the brunt of the damage but RMS Queen Mary (what an absolute beauty of a ship) returns to blighty with a much relieved General Gort. Why it took two of Cunard's finest to transport Gort to France is a mystery. I mean I know he was slightly plump but that's overkill surely [:D]

Both are damaged, they are moved to repair pool and land units will appear next turn. I think you can return them both to closest ports. Kiel is always good for German ships, until Brest is taken.
If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.

Field Marshall Gort is a tad miffed at having his tea and crumpets ruined on the way to Franceville. When he reaches Liverpool he tells the RAF what he thinks of their no-show....

I say! I am a tad miffed at having my tea and crumpets ruined. Where the bloody hell were the RAF? Eh?

Nothing. And no ground strikes for CW.

Plenty of land movement. Maybe even some rail movement. Maybe you could send me the file?

China finally gets to do something.

No apologies needed. I'm mightily impressed with how you are finding these great pictures so quickly.

Anyway, I think the star on his shoulder probably makes him a major so, sorry, it was the best I could come up with at short notice [:)].
