impulse sent

[Orm]

I haven't gotten the save yet.

[NatRapsEno]

I just sent it. I was editing the German pilot that should be there to the reserve pool. I need that pilot to fill the incoming aircraft next turn. So ignore the He 111b bomber, it should not be on the map. I will fly it to Breslau when I get a free air mission. When we return it to the force pool, we will subtract a pilot from the reserve pool.

Sound good?

[Orm]

Sounds like a plan.

Heavy rain clouds obscured Essen, so the Hampens returned without even reaching the target area. (3 rolled)

Blenheim and Wellesley bombers are launched from Malta in an attempt to disrupt the Italian V Infantry Corps in Tunisia.

Italy has one FTR2 available to intercept the ground strike. The British carrier fleet patrolling the Tunisian coast are prepared to launch their Gladiators on a counter-interception mission.

Will Italy intercept the ground strike?

Yes, intercept.

[NatRapsEno]

Will be away for a few minutes. Stay until Italian fighter destroyed or aborted. If aborted return whence. Any result that's my choice take on the bombers please.

The Gladiator is aborted, and the without the fighter protection, the remaining bomber find it wise to abort as well.
