Bob(allies) offers me a roughly even battle in the med, I decide to save the Regia Marina for another day and trade LBA shots, and come ou t ahead sinking 1 cruiser. Bob concedes barents, but I leave the empty barents and baltic emty of axis also. S. atlantic heavily defended and conceded by axis. Natlintic lightly defended by 3 battlesships, which I contest with subs. No casualties but no control. In N. Sea a face a very favorable battle before airstrikes, all airstrikes miss but allied luck is good after that. I lose 2 pocket battleships and a cruiser for hood,rodney 2 cruisers and eagle. renown escapes disabled and crippled after 2 hits, glorious eludes hipper in pursuit. scarnhorst is damaged, and graf spee crippled but living.

I feel the allies were lucky overall in the N. sea battles, and award this turn as advantage allies if only small, because I have few ships available for next turn assuming I repair, althou N. sea remains open.
