The Allies didn’t learn from the first battle with the Italian fleet… Scramble SZ81?

@Daaras Sorry for the delay. Not really sure how to play this, I have a feeling this might have a decisive impact. Kill most of those German planes and help Moscow survive? But lose any initiative in the Atlantic with that, while Italians stay strong. How to pressure Mediterannean after that? Moscow is holding up for now, but with those 16 Luftwaffe from Africa joining Eastern front, it will probably be difficult to keep it.

You are setting things very methodically; you structure the defense well and keep units within the range to stop any point from breaking down.

Not sure there is something big I can do now, but I will try to think of something :)
