Good Morning and Merry Christmas !

Hmm ... I thought I did Italia already but I don't see it anywhere lol Maybe it's on a test save. Too much Christmas cheer and early dementia can do that to a guy

See if I can find it

At least your kids are older now or they'd already be trying to get you out of bed lol

@trout @beelee

So I just realized that planes cannot attack subs.

So my sub attacking that lone carrier should NOT be susceptible to any plane interception, right???

@trout Merry Christmas my new fishy Friend...

So indeed I am mixed of feeing regarding my return to the USA since it was a few weeks early...

All of SSR's turn 4 combat move is complete and you need to tell me if and how many of the two Italian fighters wish to intercept my sub that is attacking your lone carrier.

At least I think that is how we are supposed to do that. Since there is no risk I will assume that you do send the fighters - but as I said, I want to learn how to do this correctly and, for all I know, there might be a reason to NOT attempt an intercept such as: Russian Submarines in the Mediterranean have laser-guided anti-aircraft technology that only occurs on even-numbered turns (check the 3rd Rulebook, Section 19, Paragraph 8, but not the 3rd Rule Booklet ) or maybe some other piece of rule trivia that I don't know about...
