08. Nov/Dec 1940. The Captured of Marseilles, France.
The axis won the initiate and choose to move first with the intent of capturing Marseilles, thus finishing off France. But, also doing this on the first impulse so that the 4 French naval units based in Marseilles would become disorganized and, thus, unable to meet up with their RN allies in the Western Med and / or Italian coast this turn further complicating the Italian move to reestablish supply to their troops in Algeria and Tunis.
Both the Germans and Italians took a combine on this first impulse in order to attack Marseilles, move Italian RM units into the Western Med and for the Germans to move u-boats out into the Bay of Biscay and attack CW convoys there.
The Germans and Italians managed to get a land combat on Marseilles which gave them a 72% chance of success (i.e., killing the lone French garrison there, capturing the city and disorganizing the four naval units there). Though "successful" the attack did cost the Germans two land units.
