Italian defection rolls result in Roma and Giulio Cesare remaining loyal;
Vittorio Veneto, Impero and Zara defecting to the Allies; and Littorio and
Conte di Cavour scuttling.
Allied deployment:
North Sea - 5x443, Anson, Formidable
Barents - Victorious, Illustrious, Howe, DoY(sr=1), Renown(sr=4)
North Atlantic - All US ships and Convoy 3C
South Atlantic - 2x553, PoW, 2x117, Eagle

Atlantic:

North Atlantic - 7 U-boats, Tirpitz, Graf Spee, Blucher, Admiral Hipper,
Prinz Eugen[1], Graf Zeppelin (the rest failed speed rolls)
Allied ASW sinks 3 U-boats and disables another, and return fire misses.
Allied LBA puts 5 points of damage into Roma, while Axis LBA puts 1 point of
damage into Vittorio Veneto. Graf Zeppelin disables Washington. In the
Med, the defecting Italians sink Roma and disable Giulio Cesare, rendering
Axis return fire moot. In the North Atlantic the trend of previous turns is
reversed, as the US ships sink Graf Spee, Blucher and Graf Zeppelin and the
Germans fail to sink a single Allied ship. But the Germans do disable the
entire US fleet and Convoy 3C over 3 rounds of combat, controlling the North
Atlantic and winning the match.
