Axis throw a 1 for naval search
The CW throw a 3.

Not sure what is happening here so I'll just roll with it. The CW are asked if they want a naval air combat. They naturally say yes, although I would have thought the Italians would have the choice??

THE CHOICE
Both sides will fight the same type of combat. You make the choice according to this priority:
1. You can choose the combat type if you spend 4 surprise points. You can even choose a combat type not normally allowed (e.g. SUB combat even if no enemy convoy points are included);

2. You can choose to make it a naval air combat (active side decides first) if you have an aircraft unit or undamaged CV (CVPiF/SiF option 56: with a carrier plane) included and the weather in the sea area is neither storm nor blizzard;

3. If it is not a naval air combat, you can choose to make it a submarine combat (active side decides first) if you have a SUB included and your opponent has any convoy points included; or

4. If it is neither a naval air combat nor a submarine combat, it is a surface combat.

With heavy heart, a sense of deep foreboding, but pride in his men and his navy, Admiral Campioni sails for the Eastern Mediterranean.

Anyway, all aircraft fly as bombers due to the lack of Regia Aeronautica in the sky.
