If you choose surface combat (no points used) you get this.
If Allies should decide that they didn't want submarine combat (no surprise points spent) then I thought that Italy was allowed to select submarine combat?
Anyway. We go with submarine combat and plan to use surprise points to target the cruiser as well.

Both markers to defense and if Germany at this point has 5 or more markers in defense (I have no idea how I have placed markets before) move lowest marker from defense to offense.
If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
USSR place their pact marker in the offensive pool and moves one marker from defence to offence.
USA place one entry chit in the Japanese pool.
US begins to repair Western Allied ships. US pass a law that place a embargo on strategic materials. And US begin to escort ships along the US East Coast (the last one caused a tension chit to be moved to the tension pool).
