The peeps that say not half would be unlikely to say it like that - it would be more like - not arf

Main reason I intercepted with the Nimrods is that I either force up one of his fighters. Or get a decent fight against their bomber.

Axis has good fighters but not that many. Forcing him to commit them is a valid tactic if the turn gets long. Albeit a risky one.

Don't get me wrong, we got lucky there and I am not for one second complaining in any way - but a little bit of me is thinking THAT 1 should have been on Gibraltar!!

I would be even happier if we could roll lousy weather...

Edit: While we still need lousy weather that is.

So far I think it worth it. Once Changsha is lost the supply line to the interior opens up and Japan can transport another resource out of China.

Edit: Although I understand the frustration with the die roller and how it resolved.

Just a very unsettling episode all round frankly. I suspect I will not be able to make much headway now until Thursday evening. I have a job interview on Thursday and will be preparing for this Monday-Wednesday.

Not really. If I were the Axis I would not take Gibraltar but instead just keep the fighting going like this and bleed the Allies white. How many fighters have we now lost? This is incredible - its not like we are even at worse odds most of the time.....

I'll be more circumspect in future my Lord.
