Representative of insobordination. For the fleet action, i wonder if adjacentcy to smoke confers concealment

The smoke ability also sounds cool and would go well with other Italian units. Would another possibility be a small AA modifier focused around destroyers?

And the extra SA probably should be just Italian destroyers, since Japanese DDs would be throwing 4 or 5 torpedoes.

Flagship positioning is potentially useful.

(REQUIRED)Commander: Your fleet may include one Commander. This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Smoke Screen: Once per game, instead of attacking during your Surface Attack step, the ship this unit is attached to, can make a local smoke screen. A sector containing a smoke screen blocks line of sight through its sector. A unit in a smoke screen has concealment. Remove the smoke screen at the end of the next turn

Willful - The ship this commander is attached can move at the end of the sea movement phase.

Hunters - Friendly Destroyers AND CRUISERS roll an extra attack die when making MAIN GUNNERY attacks if they are LOCAL or adjacent to a friendly Auxiliary.
