Where does the Dunkerque abort to?
Can it abort to Cisneros, Spanish Sahara

Cisneros it is.

West Med.

The Italian ATR starts searching. The Axis don't fly any extra air. Allies could fly Harrow and/or Whitley (extended range) to the 2-box. Any takers?

No takers on the extra air.

With nothing for the 2 CW subs to target, I decide they will probably want to remain on the bottom.

Searches: Axis 3, Allies 10. THe Axis elect for naval air combat, just with the 2-box.

Is the Swordfish a fighter or a bomber?

A short air combat follows but with no losses. I land the Swordfish back on the Glorious where it came from.

Italy uses 4 surprise points to bring AA down to lowest 1 of 4. Rolls of 1, 5, 2, 7 see the ATR's bombs scattered wildly.

The remaining 4 surprise points are used to boost damage to X, which goes on the Transport.

It saves. Continue or abort?

Searches: Axis 3, Allies 10. Axis again go for the 2-box with naval air combat. As before, the Swordfish flies as a fighter.

The RN pilots are better prepared and give a good account of themselves. Abort fighter or front bomber?

The bomber returns to Almeria.

The Swordfish is again aborted and lands back on the Glorious.

8 surprise points are used to drop AA fire from lowest 1 of 3 to NE.

This leaves a D, which is placed on the Trans.

It succumbs to the second wave of attacks.

Continue?

Searches Axis 9, Allies 2. Avoid combat or have a go in the air with boosted air to air values?

East Med.

The Italian BB initiates combat. The Whitley can get to the 2-box on extended range. Does it take to the skies?

Italy declines subs.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 5. Axis include 0 and 3 boxes. All surprise points to increasing damage.

The CP takes the first D. Who takes the second?

The remaining bombing is less impressive.

As the French ships return to Suez, that brings proceedings to a close this evening.
