No reason not to throw at the same time as the orders are clear.

Round 1

Allied - 6 (DA) - The Germans abort the front bomber
Axis - 13 (AA) - There is only the French fighter to choose to abort

Damn I lost the picture. But only one round and both aborted.

The fractionals fail (446 thrown). The land throw is a 6(9). The French lost two units and the third is shattered.
