Naval combat:

Does Italy want to fly any aircraft? There are several FTR that can reach the 0 or 1 box and a NAV that can reach up to the 2-box.

Second is the Eastern Med.


Does Italy want to fly any aircraft to the Eastern Med? There is a FTR that can reach the 0 or 1 box and a NAV that can reach up to the 2-box.

[warspite1]

If the carrier aircraft in the Western Med are able to get involved in the Italian Coast then the Macchi in Salerno flies. However I don't think they can, in which case nothing for the Italians in either hex and they stick around until the searches come to an end or the CP are destroyed - in which case the cruisers won't hang around if they have the chance to turn tail. Thank-you.
