What target will Allies put the second X on?

Italy will put their first abort on the British CA, if at all possible. Any idea now on what Allies will put their A on?

Italy will stay in the sea area for a second round? Does Allies already now how they will decide?

[warspite1]

X on Newcastle and the A on Newcastle if she survives or a convoy if she's sunk.

The Allies don't stick around. French ships to Marseilles and any CW ships to Gib please.

No strategic bombing.

Germany ground strikes hex 53,31 with one LND2, and one LND3. France can intercept with two FTR2, and one FTR3. Germany has four FTR2, and one FTR3 on standby for counter-interception.

Will France intercept the ground strike.

If there is no interception, will France use their AA to fire on the raid?

No thanks to interception or AA.
