Now that we have all the card images, what fleets are you guys putting together with the new units? Let’s start with late-war post-armistice Italia. Do you put her in an all Italian fleet? Supply some Allied air cover? Maybe she defected to the Kriegsmarine in your scenario. Whatcha got?
I think it would be fun to run the gauntlet with her. Put a small Italian force together and on turn 2 release an Allied force on the other side of the map to escort and provide air cover. The German opponent would just have subs, air, and torpedo boats to try to sink her. If Italia is crippled or sunk then the Axis win and otherwise the Allies win.

Our group played this scenario with the Italia sailing to RDVU with the Uk battlegroup to be escorted to internment. Close fought game, Italia survived despite being torpedoed and limping out of range of the surviving German subs.
