CW initiate the first Naval Combat in the Italian Coast sea area.

CW decline to send any air to the Italian Coast. Will Axis?

No thanks.

No combat in the Italian Coast since the search rolls were a 10 and a 9.

Next up is US that searches in the West Med. CW decline to add any air.

The US fleet has no clue where the Italian ships are. (Die rolled: 9)

However, the Italian battle fleet see the US fleet and approach them for a courtesy visit. (Die rolled: 2) Unfortunately for them they find out the hard way that the war with US already had begun.

US use the few surprise points to reduce the damage suffered.

How will Italy allocate the damage they suffered?

Let's wait if AllenK comes back soon. I could easily choose targets, but next question is will Italy continue to fight and where they want to abort.

I'm not sure where that TRS with INF is going. I have a good guess and I will say them I AllenK is not back in 10 minutes.

Put the X on the Richelieu. If it survives, the A also. If not, I leave the choice of A in your good hands.

Richelieu suffers some damage but remain on station.

El Duce Supremo regretfully informs the Allied genaralissimo he no longer wishes to participate in this minor dispute over the fishing rights in the West Med. Regards EDS.

The US battleships remain on station.

Will the Italian ships remain as well?

El Duce's mighty navy can proudly return to La Spezia (or Genoa if the TRANS and INF won't fit) having accomplished their glorious mission to return the brave sons of Italy from the CCNN corps to the motherland.

Regards EDS.

The Allied High Command is so informed.

Too which port, or ports, will the Italians fishing boats and trawlers return to?

The Italian fleet returns to La Spezia.

The two US cruisers return to Port Said.

Allies decline to search in the remaining sea areas.

Germany can search in BoB.

Yes please, use the Bf-110 or if not available, the Fw-190, thanks.

Initiate also in CSV, thanks. I think there's only 1 unit that can.
