With respect, while our convoys may lack said air support, our cities do not lack this support, and also have missile batteries. Furthermore, while your force is damaged from recent engagements, our is not. Fianlly, this would leave your own defenses more vulnerable. If you attempt bomb our cities (which are not exactly close, hence the length of time force to arrive), we will respond in kind and double our active forces.

we managed to tear apart a handful of convoys, the sorties to the city were unsuccessful. most of the bombers ran out of fuel and only a handful were able to drop their payloads, and then they crashed or got blown out of the sky.
OOC: that was fast
IC: several transport ships were blown were hit - 4 sunk outright, with the loss of 15 tanks, some 400 infantry and around 150 sailors. 3 other vessels were too heavily damaged and were forced to return to port, along with another 1900 infantry and 5 tanks. I also lost 2 F16s over the city, where 25 carriebean bombers either ran out of fuel, were blown apart by missiles, or shot down by fighters (fighters generally beat bombers)
Therefore, the remaining force is around 18,000 infantry and 40 tanks (so I lost 1/3 of the tanks)
