Thanks Paul & Rossim, made a spelling mistake, where the Reprisal, cut through. but still stuck with 12a Keep under hatches, and I forgot to include last time 8d, Distorts (5) letters, ?K???

skews?

Thanks Rosim, I now think 18d Hits hard with the fist, could be Flogs, ? Slugs?

I'd go for bangs if your G is correct. It's not a term I'm familiar with but is a synonym for slaps. It said hit with the hand, not fist.

Message for Rossim, If I go for Bangs, for 18d. Hits hard with the fist. ?L?G?.Then Reprisal is wrong.it would be an A, instead of L. , the g is from Millitary drills,(22a) 6-7 lettes. I put down Square bashing. Hope you can make sense of this ( I am struggling)
