The war starts in the east. Well not really, all we do is set up a defensive line.

What follows is no less than the Battle for Midway, but in the Atlantic.

First we engange with our subs (no hits) and then our surface fleet - as expected we take heavy losses.

Total Axis naval losses this turn:
1 Carrier
2 DD squadrons
3 German submarines, that's all of them! Sunk off Scotland by Allied airpower. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten, they kept Allied reinforcements away and the Allied airforce from bombing our land units.

In Scotland progress is extremely costly, but it is just a matter of time.

The Soviets are attacking desperately in the east but not really getting anywhere. Nothing can save Scotland now, indeed the Americans need to be careful or they'll be cut off.
