In my curent game, the UK attacked the Italian BB, CA and Trn fleet losing a Tac Bomber and one hit on the UK carrier, letting the fighter from Alexandria land on the island in the UK Med. This move put a serious hurt on the Italians. They were faced with three bad problems. The French fleet would have to be ignored during Italy-1. The Italians could move 2 inf with their other transport to Trans-Jordan to close the Med via the Suez, but then this would doom the transport. Or the Italians could attack the UK fleet of 1 damaged CV, CA and DD with 1 CA, 1 DD & 2 figs. I opted for this attack and brought the tranny hoping it would be able to survive after the UK-2 turn. The UK got a hit and I killed the UK fleet. France came over with their CA and DD and finished the job so the Italians have no fleet in the Med at all at the end of turn 1. It will be a miracle if the Italians make anything happen before the US runs into and all over Africa.
The UK-1 attack of the Italian fleet looks so strong I can’t imagine it not being done. Can the UK not build enough infantry to prevent any possible Sealion so they will always be able to execute the Med attack on the Italian Navy?
