[Orm]

Italy use the surprise points to minimize the damage suffered.

How will CW allocate the results against their cruiser fleet.

All results at once would be appreciated but not needed.

The Italian cruiser Fiume is damaged in the encounter.

The Italian force remains in the sea area.

Will the Allied force remain as well? If not, to what ports do they abort?

So do surprise effects continue into round 2?

In which case, I'm sorry but given the way this impulse is panning out, and with surprise in play I really don't want to be making more decisions for AllenK. If I don't withdraw and we receive another pasting I'm going to feel bad but withdrawing is a big decision.

That is ok. [:)]

Even though the French (merchant) navy is involved here as well. [;)]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse 9 (Allied)

The Luftwaffe orders an attack on the port of Liverpool where two aircraft carriers are believed to be undergoing refits. The Heinkel floatplanes take-off in clear weather but, when they reach Manchester they are greeted with usual Mancunian weather. The German pilots manage to navigate their way to Liverpool but drop their bombs wherever they can. They manage to kill 22 prisoners of Walton prison, but do no damage to the naval shipping in the dockyard.

[The German attack (at least) looks like much ado about nothing so please spend the 4 surprise point on avoiding combat].

Good call

Yes, but that is grounds for a joint discussion....

[AllenK]

Following a hasty dispatch of signals between their respective admiralties, the joint decision is to abort the sea zone. CA's to Alex. CP's to Syria.

Seems to be lots going on in the four games. I am out from about 12:20 to circa 2:30 but otherwise am generally around today and tomorrow. How is everyone else fixed for today/tomorrow?

About the same times for me today. Tomorrow afternoon I expect to be out around two to four hours to watch some footie.

Out for a bit early afternoon. Watching "Strictly" early evening. Tomorrow during the day free but not available from late afternoon onwards.

The Italian submarine destroy the French convoy in the West Med.

The Italian submarine find in Cape St. Vincent as well (Axis 3, Allies 7). Only the 0-box is included. Surprise is used to increase damage.

How will the result be allocated? Where will the CPs abort? Will Allies stay in the sea area? Italy will stay.

[AllenK]

Put the X and D on CW. Aborts wherever you like as the rest will abort anyway. CW aborts to Gib. French to a port around Casablanca.

[Orm]

Italy fail to find in the Gulf of Guinea.

Will France initiate combat in the Baltic Sea?
