    I love the searchlight and flares effects on the game table. Did the searchlights provide any kind of bonus for the Italian anti-aircraft fire?

    Yes, what rules did you come up with for the searchlights? Looks interesting.

    Searchlights were a simple draw from the A chit bag.

    1. Any special damage and the searchlight found a target.
    2. Subsequent moves required a draw from the A chit bag again and anything 2+ maintained contact.
    3. If target lost go back to step 1 and repeat process.
    4. AA could not fire on any aircraft not illuminated. If illuminated then it was a 2+ from the A chit bag to hit and damage drawn from the D bag.
    5. I did not have any of the ships use their AA capability or searchlights as I deemed the fleet being in a friendly harbour the crews would have been ashore, sleeping off a night on the town or just asleep.
    6. Torpedo planes could not engage any target not lit up by a flare. Hence the silhouettes for both sides of the ship.

    Note: Once Bolzano blew up I deemed that all ships in harbour were silhouetted.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    You must be a mind reader Neil.
    I was hoping for a chance to get those down.
    Copy duly made.

    Thanks Neil. This will come in handy when I soon get my WW2 act together.

    Nice set of rules; I can see them being useful in Iron Bottom Sound, and the Slot
