Turn 106 Aberdeen/Scapa Flow: Aberdeen captured: It looks like Mrdozer RR the London infantry with general to support the class III AT to outside Aberdeen on his turn. This got me to thinking his armies are not as many as I had thought (did I over-estimate his disposition?). Regardless, pressed the attack on Aberdeen, first shelled the hapless AT with naval assets, second bombed from Norway with zeppelins, third attached General Hindenburg to local infantry, then moved in for the assault on Aberdeen forcing the hapless AT to retreat, in doing so captured the city and prevented the English from placing direct reinforcements there, surprisingly with no losses to my infantry. Next sent a dreadnaught to bombard the English infantry mainly to depress it's morale. CP disembarked the Scapa Flow infantry, which had a protective sub screen. Yes, I'm concerned about enemy sub fleets, even though their presence has not been detected. Next sailed a garrison in transport to near Aberdeen (this garrison has 3 possible landing sights) and covered it's rear with a sub fleet, then sent another sub fleet to survey Newcastle (reporting no defenders there, nor for the 2 hexes north of there) (Where the hell is his army(s)?) Dispatched a cruiser from Aberdeen to scout and bombard Norwich, no army there either (will show this in another 106 SS). Belfast: Sailed 2 cruisers to take up positions around Belfast's port, joined by a CP sub fleet to prevent any English fleets from deploying there. Checked the attack odds on going after the merchant fleet, they were not good, so held my fire there. Hopefully another SS shows airship attacks on Belfast city, after-which tried an amphibious assault with German transport that failed to dislodge the English airship, however the airship did receive significant damage. Also, bombed and tried an amphibious assault on Dublin, that failed too, but did a lot of damage to the English airship defending the capitol. Moved up additional transports to try double amphib assaults on these cities next turn. Trondheim Merchant fleet appeared top right screen and a troop transport was loaded at Wilhelmshaven port. The Great Invasion has started, but is not in full swing yet.. Check out the ammo stockpile. Included commanders here to show they are detached and attached regularly.
