Game crash

My long time gaming buddy is playing a solo game with the latest beta and sent me this email:
I left a battle in the Med for the last thing in a long turn. The Royal Navy and the USN teamed up on an Italian cruiser and got it down to 1 HP. It retreated into other Italian ships, evidently collided with one, lost 1 HP, and sank. At which point the game crashed to desktop. When I resume, I'll have to do that move over from the beginning.
I asked him to see if he could repeat the crash and if so I'd post the save file here.

OK my friend is able to repeat the crash although it may take several tries using the save file. Here is what you need to do:
Fire the US BB that is just south of the Italian CA near Tobruk. If the BB happens to get 3 HP on the CA, cause the CA to retreat, and collide with the Italian BB it is retreating through, you will trigger the crash. It might take you 10-20 tries to get that result.
I can't upload the file as the forum says it's too big so please tell me where to email the file. Thanks.
Edit - Found an email address for Hubert and sent him the file.

Another thing from my friend, unrelated to the crash, is the Italian CV Roma possibly being too powerful.
He wrote:
Yet another thing they could look at is the CV Roma, which the Italians made instead of a BB. I need to run more sims, but it seems to me that it's way too powerful. My CV Ranger shows loss of 2 aircraft to 0 hits as the predicted outcome for attacks against the Italian BBs, but the Roma seems like it gets 4 hits per attack. It's hard to believe that with no experience at CV ops, the Italian Navy could get results like that out of the gate.

Hi Elmo,
Thanks for the files and to confirm this is now fixed on my end... for the US Ranger, is your friend using the correct attack mode for his Carriers? For example, is he using Naval/Tactical mode or Mix when attacking with his Carriers?
I just ask as the correct setting makes a significant difference when attacking other naval units with your carriers.
