If the next Sparviero goes to Ark another Beaufighter also goes to the Ark
if your Folgore goes to the Ark or to the lucas the next Beaufighter goes to Lucas in any case
I assume you will take a Folgore to the Lucas . My Hellcat then goes to the Ark if one folgore goes to Lucas, but to the lucas if both folgores go to lucas...

the other folgore is escorting the bombers

To sum it up
A)
2 Swordfish and 1 Beaufighter are with the Lucas, as is a Folgore of yours
no AA fire here as the Beaufighter will strafe - your AA
B)
With the Ark are 2 Beaufighters and a Hellcat and a Stuka (Italian), 2 Sparvieros and a Folgore...
Does the Folgore strafe?
In any case the Javelin attacks the Stuka

RAEVSKI

your luck with torps is good
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
I throw many dice - some should come up with 6s
I admit taking ot the Ambra with one hit was extreme lucky as I now can concentrate on your surface fleet with 3 remaining Trus - that are up to 10 torpedoes at the Vinnie per turn (if the remaining Lucas go down - which is likely with so many planes and Subs)
Strategy is to ignore the VV as long as possible

I am not sure, but do we not have all planes this turn, or did I mis something 8too much wine last night for me?)
if only I have planes I oould have placed Hellcat, but thats oK
without.
so its 4 Torps (Expert Torps) from Swordie on good Luca
Rolls: (4d6)
Afterwards in surface combat I let the Jav Smoke
you can do then ASW with Luca(s)
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
seems both Lucas survive the Swordie
do your ASW
if Tru survives I cold do 2 or 1 torp (depending if you cripple me)
tru in c5 uses Torp Rolls: (2d6)
