No Axis planes in 0 box of Italian Coast, East Coast or SCS.

Edit: sorry about the picture. That was me skipping sea zones while taking pictures. Didn't notice that plane was in next picture.

Three Naval bombers reinforce the South China Sea.

NAV2 from Hong Kong to the 2-box.
NAV2 from Kuala Lumpur to the 1-box.
NAV2 from Singapore to the 0-box.

Germany reinforce the East Med 0-box with one FTR2 (He 112).

Germany reinforce the Italian Coast 0-box with one NAV3 from Sicily.

And CSV is available for Axis too.

No search in CSV.

Axis can initiate on North Sea if they want to.

Nah. I want to see where this is going. [:)]

Italian Coast result is Allied 7, Axis 1.

How do you proceed?

Choosing naval air and using all points to damage gives D 2A.

On East Med Allied 5, Axis 10.

Only 0 box is selected.

4 points to get sub combat.
4 points to increase damage.

CP sinks.

Italy does not use any surprise points in selecting combat. And Italy decline to select naval air combat.

The question now is if the Allies will make it a SUB combat, or let it become a surface action.

(Had to consult the rules of engagement here)

Sub sinks.

This caused some confusion first. It cleared when I realized it was the CP that sunk. [:D]

I almost left the picture out. Seems it was very much needed [:D]

On Italian Coast it seems better for CW to go surface combat.

If Axis use all points to increase damage, sub takes X and Axis take A. Is this how you want to play it?

If so, who takes A and is it La Spezia if aborted?

Yes. That sounds good. Lets go with that.

The A goes to the 2-strength CA in the 0-box. La Spezia is good.

Nah. I want to see where this is going. [:)]

I can see to the future: All Axis planes fly to North Sea next impulse and both sides roll 10 (hopefully) [;)]

Subs in SCS dive deep scared by NAVs.

If CW sub survives from X on Italian Coast it will continue fight. In that case I think Axis don’t fly more planes?

Sun sinks, Italian CA is aborted and naval combat is over.
