By the way I did come up with an alternate set of plays for Italy’s turn 1 in this exact situation (in my head). Would you like me to play those out as well and show it to you? Thank you!
Sure, lets see it. Guess you can have multiple scenarios with Italy in the first round :) Especially when your fleet survived at Taranto.

The goal was for Italy to get that North Africa bonus. Didn’t… go so well.
-
Yeah, depending on shore bombardement with BB or Cru is always tricky. Landing party does need to have strength on its own. In this case I wouldnt have recommended this alternate attack, because now I can still move into med with UK fleet and take out Italian navy.
-
You did see the France turn right?
-
Yes.
-
Yeah, I always intended for you to go with the first one. Just wanted to demontstrate what was possible.
Maybe if I loaded one of those artilery from Northern Italy and used aircraft to make up the difference…
