In the East Med, CA Euginio di Savoia initiates the searching.
CW can fly a Buffalo from Malta to the 2-box. Does it wish to fly?

How would the Allies wish to spend their surprise points?

The Town-class cruiser HMS Liverpool sails with her Group II sister HMS Gloucester in response to sightings of four Italian cruisers off the coast of Libya. The report states two of the Italian ships are heavy cruisers, but the Royal Navy laughs in the face of danger, giggles at the thought of 8-inchers and positively wets itself at the notion that the Regia Marina can fight......

And decide to shadow the Italians and guide in the battleships. If the battleships can get their gear together and actually leave port.

Moving on to Cape St. Vincent, the Italian sub initiates combat.
Do any of the various RAF and Spanish air force units wish to fly? Spit and Chirri make 1-box. Hurricane 0-box, Harrow 2-box and Blenheim 3-box.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 10.
Only the 0-box is included and the Axis use 4 surprise points to choose sub combat. The remaining 7 will be used to increased damage.
The Allied escort rattles the sub with depth charges but without major effect.

How would the Allies like to apportion the losses?

The Dutch convoy points suffer the losses and the former Danish convoy points abort to Liverpool via the North Atlantic and the Faeroes Gap.
Edit: So that they avoid the combat zone Bay of Biscay.

Final tally.
The Italian sub will have another go. How about the Allies and any additional air?

Allies stay. No additional air.

Searches Axis 4, Allies 8. The sub loses contact with the remaining convoys and the aborted CP's return safely to Liverpool.
Biscay, the Nav initiates combat and the Luftwaffe piles in with another Nav and 2 Ftrs to the 1-box.

The RAF could sortie a number of aircraft. The single-engine fighters to the 1-box, the Beaufighter and Hampden to the 2-box. Any takers?

Yes. They will take of shortly.
With this post I assume that the 4 strength fighter didn't join the others?
