3) Kormoran

4) Aquila

5) HMS Ramillies

6) [:(]

ORIGINAL: brian brian

would Aquila really have ever made much difference in the always-near-land-Mediterranean? Did any CV accomplish anything there aside from being excellent targets for the enemy? [Which did accomplish great attrition on the Axis air forces perhaps].

#5 - Mutsu ? (didn't peek)

quote:

ORIGINAL: brian brian

ahhh, yes Taranto somewhat ended the war for the RM, good job there. I'll have to re-read on Matapan, I thought that was the CA vs CA battle. reinforcing Malta were the actions I was thinking of in that perhaps the Axis could have accomplished more losing their planes attacking Malta itself? I need to learn more on the Regia Aeronautica....I thought the Luftwaffe were the Axis champions of not-coordinating with their Navy.

When I command the RN in WiF I send all the British CVs to the Med, probably more than the real Brits did. And many a British player makes Pearl Taranto their first decision of the war, though they are looking for TRS, not BB, having that wonderful hindsight of history to guide them...


now I can peek at some other candidates for #5 then.

quote:

One of the advantages of carriers in the Med was that the British used them to transport aircraft onto Malta. That's not modeled very accurately in WIF; you can do the trick using carrier based air units but need to use TRS units to get land based air units onto Malta. It was a fairly standard operation in 1940 for the British to send a carrier (Furious comes to mind) to ferry aircraft from England to the Med.

Oops. I ment to write HMS Penelope that I know is the wrong answer since she was lost during the war. But I am at a loss of thinking of a light cruiser that fits.

The big clue here is no.4. What very famous engagement happened, outside the med, that involved at least one light cruiser?
