Germany attempted the same in 1940 and lost the battle.

If one side was defeated, by definition the other side won.

Thanks for picking up on Midway Trashcanman. I asked Stern for his view on that battle and he decided American victory. I then heard a twanging sound that I believe was his logic snapping
