A bloody nose for Rommel.

Preamble.

Between 1st of June and the end of October, the aircraft from Malta, now free to go on the offensive began to attack German and Italians shipments to North Africa. Heavy losses of both ships and munitions were incurred. During this period over 22,000 tons of German and Italian ships were lost to aircraft and Submarines. 15,000 tons of this alone was attributable to the Malta based Squadrons.

The Axis war effort in the Desert was reeling under the effect of losing up to 80% of its supplies.
You now have the chance to put another nail into the coffin of the Enemy.
A Maryland on surveillance has spotted an Italian convoy heading South towards Tripoli, and is now shadowing the convoy.



Hugh Pugh Lloyd has ordered an intercept.

Allies.

Your Flight consists of two torpedo bombers, and a Blenheim. Two Hurricanes are supplying top cover, but only have fuel for eight rounds of fighting.
Do as much damage as you can.

Axis.

You have three Fighters available. If one is shot down another will arrive on the Southern mat edge one move later. This will only happen once.
The Convoys accompanying Destroyers will have full AA facility as explained in Neil's AA rules.
