Do you wish to intercept any of the following? If yes, and unless you specific a unit, I'll use the weakest unit, requiring the least oil and in the lowest sea box to initiate.

(1) French, Marseilles. 2 BBs and 2 CAs to the West Med.

(2) RN, Malta. 3 BBs and 3 CAs to the Italian Coast.

(3) RN, Malta. 2 CAs to the East Med.

(4) RN, Gibraltar. CA loaded with 2-4 infantry Div to the West Med.

(5) RN, Gibraltar. BB to the West Med.

(6) RN, Gibraltar. 3 CAs to the West Med.

(7) RN, Plymouth. CV Courageous, 3 BBs to the Bay of Biscay and then to Cape St. Vincent. I'm not saying whether or not Cape St. Vincent is their final destination but this force intends to head at least that far. I'm giving this bit of intel away in order to speed play a bit. Otherwise, OPSEC is the word!

(8) RN, Plymouth. CV Ark Royal to the Bay of Biscay.

(9) RN, Liverpool. Queen Mary loaded with 7-3 infantry corps and CA to Bay of Biscay.

(10) RN, Liverpool. BB, CVL with no planes to Bay of Biscay.

(11) RN, Plymouth. CP to Bay of Biscay.

(12) RN, Plymouth. 2 CAs (older 3-2 ones) to Bay of Biscay.

(13) RN, Aden. 4 CAs to East Med.

(14) RN, Aden. 2 CPs to East Med.

(15) RN, Singapore. 2 CAs (6-movers) to East Med.

(16) RN, Singapore. 2 CAs (5-movers) to East Med.

1. France will try to initiate combat in the Baltic Sea. Do you wish to fly the He 115c into that area, and if so, which box?

2. The CW will try to initiate combat off the Italian Coast. Do you wish to fly the Re 2000 fighter into the area, and if so, which box?

3. The CW selected no combat in several areas (see next post). As the non-phasing player do you wish to try to initiate combat in an of these areas. If so, which unit, or units, would you like to use to initiate combat?

3) Something funny is going on, apparently none of the units I used in impulse one to initiate combat were disorganized.

The RN finds and surprise the Italian RM off the Italian Coast. It's a good old fashion naval gun battle. The RN uses all their surprise points to maximize damage against the RM. What are your order for allocating damage?

The CW stays. What about the Italians?

Flee to La Spezia

I had asked for the IT fighter to fly out to the W. Med. from post 186

How do you want to handle this, now that the searches have been rolled for the W. Med?

The Italians hit the jackpot in the West Med. Which sections would you like to include? What type of battle would you like to fight? How would you like to apply your surprise points?

I missed that. I can set die rolls and have the Gabbiano be cleared.

I will only engage the 0-box and I will make it a naval air (believe I should have 14 surprise points). If my fighter is involved, I will spend no surprise on the A-A. If not and you fly as a fighter, I'll spend 8 surprise to move my A-A up 1 (to +1) and yours down 3 (to -3). If you fly has a bomber, then I'll spend no surprise on the A-A, since there will be no A-A combat.

If there is not a saved game to go back to, just play it as is with the instructions I indicated.

Wow ... I definitely need to work out the kinks.

Do the Italians wish to fight a naval air combat?
