Turn 74 Battle for the English Channel: Finally a SS with detail.!! There were 3 English fighter squadrons where the red circle and the 2 yellow stars are by London. One squadron was totally destroyed in the red circle I know of, but I cannot remember what happened to the other 2 squadrons, they could have moved their airdromes elsewhere, or had been destroyed in previous attacks, can't remember. What was important with these fighters, was that they extracted a lot of losses on airships targeting London, or any of the surrounding English navy, so I sought to eliminate them as best as possible, also to stop their LOS of my units in France, limiting his airships from hitting vulnerable targets. It's been a chess gambit of trying to gain advantages over one-another. To preserve the German bombarding cruisers, chose to sub attack the closest English dreadnaught , thus blocking the channel, at the same time allowing CP fleets to repair and upgrade in port. AH subs have taken up positions as a rear guard for the surface fleets. English airships are merciless attacking CP subs, so I expect to receive losses on my opponent's turn. The other object here is: To try and catch/trap English dreadnaughts in vulnerable positions, that's why there is a hidden sub just north of Antwerp and another German dreadnaught tucked-in Amsterdam's port. Much of what is going on here is to divert Mrdozer from bombing my cities, for once those cities recover the PP gain will be enormous.
