See the picture attached. With the last version 1.2.15

Italy is neutral, DoWed Greece. Commonwealth aligned Greece.
Italy takes Athens, and force Greek ships there to rebase.
Italian fleet (in the 3 box with a NAV) intercepts the Greek fleet.
Axis roll 1 - Allied roll 8

Final surprise points: Allied 1 (should be Axis 11)

I did another try, rolled a 2 with the Axis and Allied got 2 surprise points.
My guess is that the game considers Italy, in some way, surprised by the Greeks/CW (might be because of some CW fleet in the sea zone, but they're still neutral and are not included), hence Axis surprise points are down to 0.

I kept a save game if needed.

I have fixed this but you will not see the correction until version 1.2.2.x becomes available. This is part of the naval movement/combat bugs I have been working on this month.

---

September 21, 2014 - Corrected the calculation of surprise points for naval combat between a major power (M) and a minor country when the minor country is surprised by a DOW by M and aligned to a major power which is not at war with M. For example, Polish naval units that are overrun and then intercepted by Germany are aligned to Commonwealth, which is not at war with Germany during the first impulse of the game. Previously the code had been awarding zero surprise points to both sides.
