Yes!!! Return of the strategy vids!! Keep em going brother!

We use house rules that if you fly over spaces with anti-aircraft, you get a shot. So getting the British fighters down there is a riskier proposition.

Preaching to the choir Brother, it's sacrilege otherwise!!!

You could in theory bring in 1 more fighter from london, if you really want to go hard and don't fear sealion

Correction, the max amount of units that can reach Taranto could include both the fighter from England, and the fighter from Gibraltar (although it’s unnecessary).

It's simple economics. UK and the allies can replace those losses, Italy can not.

Glad to see the some more strategy videos..great video!.

In general, what's your loss order for the Taranto raid? Keep as many surface ships as possible at the cost of the airplanes that cannot go to Malta? (EG : the fighter from England must land on SZ 97)? Or lose the ships and try to save as many Airplanes as possible? I know it depends on the dices rolls, but I was curious to know your thoughts about that! If Italy doesn't scramble, it can score 1-2 hit(s) on its defense (Assuming no bad luck from his part). Taking a hit on the AC is a big no if you do not lose the Fighter plane too. Losing two ships (DD/Cruiser) may expose the fleet to an Italian counterattack (which is fine I guess, although I'd prefer having Germany loses its planes instead). Obviously if there's a sub bid for UK, then the attack becomes very safe (even with two hits, you can lose the sub and cruiser, keeping the DD against a potential italian sneak attack). Losing the DD AND cruiser (Assuming no bid) may push the Italian into attacking the fleet with a lone Sub. A hit would doom the planes on the AC.

This was a very interesting. Thanks.

YG - great video. Really enjoyed it!

Presuming you are willing to just eat the wipe (or likely wipe) - you can hit all 3 fleets reasonably well. Bomber from UK hits 95 with the fighter from Malta - sub can't defend so it is a straight up 2v2 - although a scramble will kill you pretty easily (but then the 97 fight is a cake walk). Both fighters from UK then go to 97 with the Tac Bomber and the fleet from Cairo. Cruiser off Gibraltar + fighter from Gibraltar hit the malta fleet. Lossess are high all around - but the UK can replace theirs faster than Italy can by a wide margin.

OKAY, I'm late on this conversation about the raid on Taranto (by two years) what l would like to know is dosen't anyone have the Bismarck sitting on their south shore? Wounded but still alive and maybe a sub with it. All these planes your bringing down from England would need to be used to clean up the waters around England. Maybe I'm just a lousy dice roller but l can't justify leaving German ships to go after Italian ships.l think it would be a suicide run to go to Taranto without England's fighters. Save the carrier to fight another day and concentrate on Africa. You will be back in the med in no time.

Wait, you could bring is 2 planes from england and land the other aircraft in malta. Same with the gibralter fighter, but it would eliminate an england fighter Edit: stupid random copy pasting on mobil

Have you tried the Tobruk assault to help UK retain control of Africa with the Taranto raid?

Is it legal for UK to take their med transport and on their non-combat turn land in Greece? Thus any aircraft can land there on the non-combat turn. Thus more aircraft can enter the Toranto raid.

I've seen a player(Crocket) forgo Taranto and join the British navy with the French, wouldn't do it myself but what do you think of that?!

where can I buy the same dashboard as yours?

What? You can’t land a stray bomber on an aircraft carrier?

How can the plane on Malta go through the blockade around Malta to reach Taranto?
