We didn't discuss nations. What would you like to play?
I mean, most convoy battles occurred in the North Sea/Arctic. So I suppose that kinda leaves me with RN and USN (or the Soviets but they didn't really do much in regard to guarding convoys).

Plenty of convoy battles occurred in the Pacific, but as you wish.
And, honestly, the Soviets did a LOT of convoy guarding. Mostly British supplies coming in form Canada IIRC.
In any case... if you take RN, I'll go with KM.
Do you have any examples of significant convoy battles in the Pacific? I am aware of the significance of the USN's effective submarine operations against Japanese shipping, but not that there were engagements on the scale of what happened in the North Sea/Arctic. And yes, the Soviet navy was involved in convoy protection, but compared with what the USN and RN did, their role is pretty minor (to my knowledge, feel free to cite evidence to the contrary).

Anyway, I'm not interested in recreating a specific historical example.
Ah ok, that’s a good example. We could do something in the Pacific then if you’d like as well. Although I’d like to play RN quite a bit.

Why not RN vs IJN? They certainly clashed. Hence the Prince of Wales and Repulse being sunk and all that.
This sounds good. You can guard a Japanese "invasion force" convoy and I'll form a RN task force (not gonna call it "Z" though) to intercept it.

Or could we do something in the Med? I've NEVER played the Italians and would love to give it a try!

That sounds good! So I'll make an 80 point build, yes?
