And yeah, their technology did suck; I once heard that a bullet from a pistol would punch through the armor of an WWII Italian tank. Not sure if it’s true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

The Japanese were quite similar. It was like their tanks were made of bamboo or something. Not very well protectd. Then again, they did not need tanks the way everyone else did…

Does anyone know how many gears an Italian tank has?

lol saw that joke coming…

The Italian tank joke or the enema joke?

[idk_iam_swiss]

Both, recall that the Italians made their tanks using Rivets, which would make the tank fall aprt, or worse could get shot off during Combat. Modern Tanks however were wielded together. Making them much stronger.

Yeah i saw the enema joke coming. just to rectify the situation

After the Taranto raid the rest of the British turn is played as usual. All combat moves would need to be made before the actual raid of course but the rest of the combat would be normal.

Can there be more than 1 “Taranto Raid?”
Can a “Terranto Raid” be an attack on a land territory?
Will Italy be able to avoid the “Toronto Raid” by avoiding naval battle like normal?

Haven’t been able to make the tiled version yet. Soon I hope.

Has anyone been able to print out this map?

I have. But it only fit on one page.

Does anyone know how to make a tiled map from an original?

[IronDuke]

Here is a tiled version of the map.

This will make a 20"x 30" map. Sorry it took so long.

[calvinhobbesliker]

Thanks.

I have a few questions.
1. Can the Taranto raid rule apply to more than one naval battle? A land battle?
2. Will this work if we use the current stats of units; EG, transports have 0 defense and are taken last; subs defend at 1 and can submerge if no destroyer?

[calvinhobbesliker]

Also, can the Italians avoid a Traranto attack by rolling an odd number?

[IronDuke]

Unlike the AAP rule where the allies defend at 1, I envisioned the Special attack rules to solely apply to any Naval/Air units in the Ionian Sea. As to the second question we never play tested that scenario. It sounds reasonable, the sub rule especially. Would like to know how that works out.
I would also like to point out we were still trying to come up with “better” victory conditions. Maybe something more along the line of AAG since the Americans are not part of this game and would therefore be over by the summer of '42. Any feedback welcome.

[IronDuke]

No, they are trapped the first turn, sitting in harbor.

So the Taranto raid rule only applies to the Ionian sea and the Italians can’t avoid it like usual. I assume they can’t break off by rolling a 1 or 2 either, like normally.

I have printed this out but it is way too small to be practical. Can you tile the original map that you posted? If you cannot then I still thank you for your efforts.

How is it too small? Most of the territories are large, and the small ones have blow up circles

Will I need too paint any new pieces for this game.
