Edit: If you didn't reinforce the BoB then the German will attempt to initiate please.

That is actually impossible, as I did not reinforce in the BoB you will not be able to initiate there.

[jesperpehrson]

Naval combat continued:

CW initiates in the Italian Coast, flipping CA Manchester.
Italy does not commit subs.
Allies rolls 3
Axis rolls 8
CW choses to fight only the 1-box.
CW has 8 surprisepoints.
CW choses to not make it a Naval Air combat.

Initial Italian risk is X D A
Initial CW risk D

CW uses the 8 points to raise Italian risk to 2X D 2A



How does Italy wish to distribute the risk?

Yeah I knew that..... I didn't want to initiate anyway.....

[warspite1]

TRS first and then the cruisers - trying to spread the risk as much as possible please.

[jesperpehrson]

Naval combat continued:






CW stays. Does Italy stay?

[warspite1]

No thank-you

[jesperpehrson]

Naval combat continued:

The Italian fleet in the Italian Coast aborts to La Spezia.

CW initiates in the Eastern Med. CA Australia is flipped.
Italy commits their SUBs as there are CPs to be destroyed.
Allies rolls a 7.
Axis rolls a 1.


0-box - 2 CP + TRS
3-box - a lot of ships including CVs
4-box - a french CA and a CW BB

Which boxes does Italy want to include? Do they want a SUB-combat or surfacecombat? Do they want to stick around for another round or do they want to abort? Where to?

[warspite1]

Surface combat please - 0-box only. Max damage for no loss and the fleet stick around please

[jesperpehrson]

hmm?

It was code [:D] I've now de-coded [:)]

[jesperpehrson]

Naval combat continued:

Italy fights only against the 0-box.
Italy has 9 surprisepoints.
It will be a surfacecombat.
Italy uses their surprise to raise the CW risk to 2X.




Both Italy and CW stays.
Italy does not commit subs as convoys are gone.

Allies rolls 5
Axis rolls 2



Italy has to chose to fight the 3 or 4-box. Only the 3-box has a CV with CVP.
Does Italy stick around after this round?

[warspite1]

Italy chooses the box without air, it maximises enemy damage and then gets the hell out of there please

[jesperpehrson]

Naval combat continued:

Italy elects to fight the 4-box.
As there are no bombers there is no risk for either side.

CW stays.
Italy aborts. Where?
