Axis rolls 10 and Allies roll 7.

The British Swordfish bombers damage the Italian cruiser.

No naval air.

A TRS sail from Gibraltar, escorted by HMS Dorsetshire, to the West Med. Will Italy intercept?

Yes please. Use the CA.

The Italian intercept attempt fails, but the TRS stay in the sea area and embark a Spanish Corps from Almería.

A second TRS sail from Gibraltar. This time towards Cape St Vincent. Will the Italian submarine attempt to intercept?

Yes please.

The interception attempt is successful and CW decide that the prudent course is to stay in the sea area rather than to let the TRS force its way through the blockade.

The TRS stay in the 3 box and load the 2nd Corps from Cádiz.

CW can activate combat in three sea areas... but decline in all three.

Axis can activate combat in two sea areas. Will they?

Cape St Vincent; yes please.

Edit: Was waiting to see the West Med screenshot but also initiate.

I was to lazy to take that screenshot. [:D]

Edit: Any preference as to which sea area to begin with?

It's in the lap of the gods with the die rolls so start anywhere.

I'll begin with Cape St Vincent because that does not require change of active power.

CW decline to send any air reinforcements.

I declined on behalf of Germany to send their fighter to the 0 box.

Will Italy commit their submarine?

Yes please.

And with two sevens rolled we move on.

CW decline to send any additional air to the West Med.

Will Germany? (See picture)

Will Italy (No picture unless requested)

No thanks.

Germany: No thank you.

CW commits the Allied submarines.
