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 .

Yes, please, fire the AA.

Edit: Put any results on Schleswig-Holstein.

Thank you for asking.

Port attack Kiel
Surprise points 11 used 4 to reduce AA and 6 to increase NCC for 2D & 3A.

Allied choice D: Graf Spee Aborts
Axis choice D: ??

I edited in Put any results on Schleswig-Holstein in my previous post.

Kiel Port attack final results. Ignore the 4th Abort roll for Deutschland, reassigned to the damaged Schleswig-Holstein as it should have been.
