No contact in CSV (7-1).

The French troop transport avoids the submarine threat.

Begin with the attack on Lodz. Pretty sure that Allies would select assault here. The loss of a weak MOT seems to weak to motivate blitz to me, so I assume that my opponent think the same.

For some unknown reason I had it in my head that they would just rebase forgetting about DOW impluse overrun.

Italy captures 2 cruisers, while 2 BB and one CA is destroyed. 4 ships escape the landing (1,9,2,1,10,8,2,6,3,7 rolled).

Will they (CV + 2 BB + 2 CA) sail from Oran as a group? What port(s) will they seek?
