Italian army transport bumps into UK cruiser before the cruiser is attacked by 3 Italian ships. UK cruiser then attacked transport, leaving transport at 2 and cruiser at 4. UK cruiser will die this turn. Lots of Italian transports buzzing around the eastern Med, with landings expected near Beirut and at Suez. Allied troops in Beirut & Alexandria. France remains quiet and empty. Antwerp bombed again. Brussels & Paris empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italians capture suez channel and begins to hammer Alexandria. A slight miscalculation led to loss of Beirut. Not to worry, Egypt will be ours.
