Impulse #2 (Allies)

CW decline naval air action. Therefore it becomes a surface combat.

The first D is put on HMS Hood.

Sep/Oct '40
Impulse #2 (Allies)

One BB, and two CA, were aborted for the Allies.

How will Italy allocate the results on their SUBs?

Place X on 3 sub in 2 Box
Place D on on 5 sub in 2 box
Place A on 3 Sub if it is damaged otherwise place A on 5 if damaged
If both first 2 rolls hit then A can only be placed on remaining sub in 3 Box

Impulse #2 (Allies)

Two Italian SUBs damaged. And one of them is aborted.

CW stay in the sea area. Will Italy stay as well? And will Italy include SUBs if they stay?

Axis will stay
Sub committed

Aborts from this and previous combats to La Spezia

Sep/Oct '40
Impulse #2 (Allies)

And both sides find in CSV again. (Axis 2, Allies 3)

This time CW makes it a naval air combat. The D is put on the undamaged SUB (5046).

Sep/Oct '40
Impulse #2 (Allies)

And the SUB is damaged.

How will Italy place the abort?

And will Italy remain, and if so, will the SUB be included? If that can be answered at this point?

Place A on 5 Sub please

The 5 SUB is aborted. (1 rolled)

Will Italy stay in CSV?

If Italy stay, will the SUB be included?

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

What port will the CA relocate to? Mogadishu, or Djibouti, are the two Italian ports within range that comes to mind.

Run with Djibouti for now

Over to USA for the second part of our impulse.
