          Hi Cat

          It's helpful if you post a screenshot of the scramble area as well as the save. Then one can make a quick decision with out downloading and uploading the save.

          Although sometimes you will want to see what the entire turn did before making a decision also.

                scramble to the bottom of the ocean? I would assume no but I guess I gotta ask right?

                  you should post the save too so he can see what other attacks, if any, you did.

                  Probably doesn't matter in this case but sometimes it will 🙂

                  Edit
                  Remember to take Transports as casualties last. That is Player Enforced

                    @beelee yes of course. Actually I took a photo of the map but the file was too large

                    Now I’m driving

                        @beelee No scramble- playing you is a lot of fun. Your strategies are all new to me. Panzer is a player similar to you in that way. Always springing surprises on me!!

                          @trout surprise? Dude I think I’m doing the only thing possible.

                          These opening moves seem similar to chess. In chess One either pushes the kings pawn two squares or the queen pawn.

                          Anything else is in the 1 percent. And Japan 1 seems like very little options. I guess I should study more games.

                            Standard Jap Turn 1 as far as I can tell. Although I recall you did not bother with the Philippines , hmmm. Hope I am not sticking my neck out too far with that move.

                            Where do you get the fancy title to your game save file?

                              @johnnycat Getting Philippines cheaply before I can fortify or destroy the naval and air bases is the biggest advantage of doing it. People that don’t do J1 attack normally focus on fighting China in the beginning. Unless your name is Panzer, he does his own thing and somehow still wins a lot of games

                                @johnnycat Unfortunately, I don't know how to do the cool screenshots but need scramble instructions for SZ 97 and for SZ 111, would you like your U-Boat to submerge or fight?

                                    @trout so why would they "fight". I saw that in the AI while playing the computer and figured that was a bug.

                                      @johnnycat Well, the U-Boat can submerge and survive since no destroyer. Since it's just a fighter and Batt against your U-Boat and damaged Batt, I could see where the U-Boat could help sink my Batt but he only hits with a 1 on defense so odds not in your favor. I would probably submerge but I don't think it's a horrible thing to fight. For example, let's say I roll average and get 1 hit, you roll average and get 1 hit. For losses, I have a damaged Batt and you lose the U-Boat. Then on round 2, I get a hit and so do you. In that situation, we both lose our Batts on round 2 and that would not have happened without the U-Boat. OR you can just kill my Batt easily on G2 by having a U-Boat wolfpack finish him off on that turn.

                                      Anyhow, 9.5 times out of 10, a sub would submerge and survive but I could see where you would choose to have him participate. Your choice sir
