CW abort.

Any preference for where to land the Swordfish? Furious or Illustrious?

HMS Illustrious.

Axis use their 2 surprise points to reduce the AA to NE.

Final result is 2A. The Axis put the first on the Queens and send them back to port.

Where would the CW like to place the second A and do they stay for a second round?

HMS Furious for the second 'A'.

CW stay.

The CV emerges unscathed from a couple of near misses.

Round 2

The Axis don't add any more air support. How about the CW?

No more air support.

Italian sub stays on the bottom.

Searches: Axis 2, Allies 5. Only Axis finds. They choose the 4-box only.

Fly the Swordfish as fighter or bomber?

Fighter.

The German Nav is cleared through and the Swordfish remain intact.

Second round?

No, thank you.

The Swordfish return to Illustrious.

AA fire is lowest 1 of 6. The RN AA gunners almost but not quite abort the Nav with rolls of 10, 7, 5, 9, 1, 7.

Axis have but a solitary A which they put on Illustrious. It emerges unscathed.

Third round?

Third round?

Indeed.

No additional air.

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 1. Do the Allies wish to avois combat or save their surprise points for air combat?

CW go for air combat. The CVP is a fighter.

CW has 7 surprise points to spend. How do they want to spend them? Initial line up shown below.

CW has 7 surprise points to spend. How do they want to spend them? Initial line up shown below.

All points go towards increasing the air to air value.

The round is inconclusive and the Germans bug out.

The naval combat continues with another round.

Searches: Axis 7, Allied 10. Combat is over.

Where do the CW wish to abort the Queens to?
