John brought his Italian fleet along so we attacked it with some Brits.
John & Chris's Italian mission was to escort 2 landing craft across the table.
Jim & Mike's British mission was to stop them.
The Italians (at the far end) have 4 fast MAS boats, 2 armed landing craft & a corvet.
The Brits have 2 Farmiles & 5 Vospers.
The light boats rush ahead into a mellee with each other.
The light boats pass through each other without any losses & the Brits start throwing torps at the big Ities.
Mitzi takes an interest as the Vespers close in laying torps.
The MAS boats turn to chase the Vespers as the Familes cover their back.
A torpedo takes out the Corvette as Vespers & MAS boats start going down under close range fire.
The Brits are down to the 2 Farmiles & the Ities have only 1 MAS & the 2 landing craft left.
It's down to 2 Farmiles v. 1 landing craft.
It goes down to the last the last Farmile v. the last landing craft. The Brits got first dice out of the bag & put it down with gunfire.
Another unrealistically high sinking rate, but we have no widows, orphans or screaming wounded & it was rattling good fun.
The coloured counters on the wakes are used to identify the ships. We put a coloured counter on each ship & a matching one on their damage card so it's easy to see which applies to which. The counters can also be used to identify torpedoes if it's getting messy.
