Maybe that didn't happen. When I get back from a walk I hope to find out that the ground strikes was, for once, a success. [8|]

Italian forces capture Algiers. The Italian forces, supported by German mountain forces, continue to advance westwards into the
French alps.

I had a relaxing sauna. While sitting on my backyard after sauna and having a cold beer I hoped I didn’t have a dream about ground strikes. Now I can see it was not a dream. Sorry Orm...

Avoid combat, thank you.

Italy send out their entire submarine fleet in hunt of Allied convoys.

No action in Cape St. Vincent with Axis die roll of 8 and Allied of 10.

No action in Gulf of Guinea with Axis die roll of 5 and Allied of 7.

At last a Italian submarine finds. And the Allied escorts are apparently oblivious to the Italian submarines.
