[QUOTE=pasternakski] (UV med), in my opinion, perfectly suited to treatment using the UV engine. The relatively cramped waters of the Mediterranean will channel naval activity into a few well-defined corridors. The land combat involved fairly limited numbers of troops (particularly when compared to WitP and considering that the eastern and western fronts will only be abstract influences on reinforcements and withdrawals). The focus will be squarely on logistics and the ability to resupply and reinforce critical points (Malta, Alexandria, Tripoli, and Suda, to name a few). Air power will rule, naval forces will try, as in UV, to support the efforts of ground forces, and your ability to take and hold critical bases will determine whether you win or lose.

It is hard enough for the Japanese navy to stand up to the British and Americans. The poor old Itialians (with the few German ships in the Med ) wouldn't stand a chance. Also, as you mention, land-based air power would be even more unbalancing than it is in UV. That's something we don't need in a naval game.
