Yes, the second (maybe even third) Allied impulse of the game, i.e. impulse #4 of SO39.
Yes, inexperienced, I hadn't played in a while. I (Italy) naively and arrogantly moved 1 TRS each of the first two Axis impulses, one into a port and the other at sea to unload troops in north Africa without naval protection. The second move was right under the noses of the CW CV's and surface ships. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up. They (me) then declared war, moved more French and CW ships to sea and performed a port strike followed by naval actions in the med. Italy lost two convoy points, one Inf, and two TRS. CW goal from the beginning was to stop the axis sealing up the Suez with massive re-enforcements early in the game, even at the cost of not sending BEF or fighters to France which they certainly accomplished. I can re-think that strategy now.
Interestingly, Germany also lost two fighters (a 5 and a 3) to one weak Polish fighter with incredible die rolls. There was no need for Germany to even engage the fighters and I had a premonition that this was dumb to engage them even at high odds instead of just letting them die in Warsaw vis-à-vis land combat only.
[:-]It was a pretty good feeling to pull off the sinking of the transports even if I am only playing with myself ;)
