The final countdown - En svensk uppgörelse

[Orm]

The Italian submarines decline to intercept the French battleships, but the Italian naval bomber decides to try and intercept.

[Orm]

But the Italian bombers fail to spot the French fleet (die roll 6) and they reach Bordeaux.

[Orm]

The remaining French ships reach Dakar, un-intercepted.
