Rematch of the Centrury - Sweden (Allies) vs England (Axis)

[AllenK]

If Z.501 can make the 3-box, then use the 0 air factor one. If not, then the SM.79 to the 2-box.

[Orm]

SM.79 to the 2-box it is.

[Orm]

The Dutch submarines finds the Italian convoy and sinks it. (Allies 2, Axis 6)

CW stay, and then stay deep with the SUB. I assume that Italy stay as well, and do not add any new air to the sea area. If I was in error I can go back and change it.

[AllenK]

Fine as is thanks.

How do the French use the points?

Drop the stukas to 4 factors each if possible

[warspite1]

I'll check but I think its one or the other?
