Black Sheep Squadron (Age of World Wars)

Hi!
I cannot find own campaign map discussions for Age of World Wars maps, thus I decided ask for help here. I claim that map1 of Black Sheep Squadron cannot be completed in required 7 turns, my best was only 13 turns. Does anybody have an idea?
Thank you for your help in advance!

I found this to be better subforum for such topic.

Thank you, Shark guy 35, I am interested in that "somehow"

In the first three rounds I can only move towards the battleship. If I could attack her from all the four directions in the 4th turn, it would mean 4x50=200HP damage leaving 1300HP for the battleship. Continuously changing my Corsairs means 400HP per turns, so it still means 4 more rounds, what needs 8 turns basically.
Additionally you cannot attack the battleship continuously, because the four cruisers around it. The attack power of the five capital ships is 5x2x10=100HP together, while a Corsair has only 30HP and there are only 10 planes. When I do not retreat after the first attack round, I always loose.
Finally 3-4 Japanese planes appear in the top left corner, when the battleship has been sunk. It also takes 2-3 more turns, while the turn limit is only 7

About the problem - sorry - I haven't played AoWW much.
I'm spending all time on AoS.

I agree with you, Endru1241, AOS is a fantastic game! Nevertheless, I decided to give up, because of Nyadhos - Paths of the Dead unsolved problem

)

Thank you for your quick reaction, Stratego!
Please, check the last posts of this topic:

The problem is written in details. In a nutshell: originally it was a mad map and because of the changes (weaker catapults) has become unbeatable.

Thank you, Stratego! There was a voting in that topic and I chose deleting that mad map. I gave up playing AOS, because I do not like unlogical rules and that map contains 171 triggers

The map1 of Black Sheep Squadron seems the same: I wrote the math about why. I played it a lot of times and simply I cannot find the secret trigger playing logically. I have a problem with map4 of Black Sheep Squadrons as well, but maybe once upon a time I will be successful if AI makes a lot of mistakes and never builds fixed AA guns. Nevertheless waiting for AI mistakes instead of playing a great strategy game is not that reason why I love this game
