Picture from Jul/Aug '40 Impulse #3 (Axis) - Naval Combat

Axis rolls 1, while Allies roll 2.

Italy select to fight only the 1-box. And use two surprise points to reduce the damage suffered.


Picture from Jul/Aug '40 Impulse #3 (Axis) - Naval Combat

The British cruiser is damaged.


Picture from Jul/Aug '40 Impulse #3 (Axis) - Naval Combat

The Italians SUBs remain in the sea area. Will RN remain as well?


Picture from Jul/Aug '40 Impulse #3 (Axis) - Naval Combat

Yes please.

Axis finds again with a roll of 1. Allies roll 5.

Italy only selects the 1-box. This gives 6 surprise points that are all used to increase damage done.

The British cruiser is sunk (the roll was a 5 even though it didn't matter).

A roll of 1 aborts one Italian SUB.

Italy stays. I assume CW stays as well (I can go back and change this).

The Italian SUBs decide that they will stay low and wait for new targets.

Naval combat ends.

Yes CW stay.
