I presume the Allies stay for another round?

For some reason I never got this email. I thought it was simply delayed but it has still not arrived.

I suspect that the 'b' above is the explanation to why I didn't get the email.

I do them one at a time because I thought I was a bit of a thicky and embarrassed that I didn't know.

If peeps are happy to do that and always take the first then that is fine by me.

I know I'm a bit of a thicky and have been bluffing it up until now. You have just unmasked my 'generate an overkill of die rolls that are "applied in sequence" until MWiF stops asking for another roll' ploy. Damm you, sir .

It appears the shipping has scattered to the four winds (searches: Axis 8, Allies 10). The combat ends.

To which friendly welcoming harbour would the Allies wish to return the Illustrious to?

Surveying the current state of the Whitley Houstons, the Chief Engineer decides it's not right but it's okay.
