There will be fine in Mediterranean until Gibraltar falls... [8D]

Fine weather for the remainder of the game? I really doubt that. [;)]

No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA
Naval: France, CW

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

Two battleships and one cruiser sail from Gibraltar. Will the Axis force in Cape St. Vincent try and intercept the CW force?

And if Axis intercepts will they commit submarines?

They may pass.

The force in Cape St Vincent continue to the 0-box of the Bay of Biscay.

HMS Glorious along with HMS Hood and HMS Repulse sail to the 4-box in the Western Mediterranean.

CW send four convoy points to the Faraoes Gap.

The French submarine search for the Italian cruiser in the West Med.

Allies send no aircraft to the sea area.

Will Italy? Or Germany?

No thank you.

Both sides rolled a nine in the West Med. Terrible.

Terror initiates combat in the Bay of Biscay.

CW decline to send any air to the sea area.

Will Italy?

And will Italy commit submarines?

No planes and sub dives deep for the first round.

One - Ten split in favour of Axis. Again.


So what box(es) does Axis include?

Box 0 and spend 4 points to choose surface combat, thanks. Can you then post what it looks like.

Oh yeah!

Just a sec

6 points to decrease damage down to 2A and 2 points to increase damage to X D.

First A on Bismarck, second on Scharnhorst.

Axis stay.

No Axis ship aborted (9 and 10 rolled).

Three CW convoy points destroyed.

Will Italy send out any air or commit submarines?


Picture from Sep/Oct '40 Impulse #5 (Allied) - Naval Combat

No thanks.

Allies rolls 5 and Axis 7 so neither side finds.

CW decline to search in the Cape St Vincent so that ends the naval combat step.

Sep/Oct '40
Impulse #5

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

Over to Warspite1 for the rest of the impulse.
