DESCRIPTION Late in 1940, the Italian navy had been a fleet in being. However, after the British struck a crippling blow
at Taranto, the Italian Admiralty decided that they were better off taking the fight to the high seas. Owing to early
Italian successes in disrupting reinforcement of Malta, the British began sending larger and more powerful convoys.
Such was the case on November 27, 1940 when a strong British convoy was informed of an Italian force closing on their position.
British Admiral Somerville ordered his escort forces to engage the Italian forces. Vice Admiral Iachino had orders to avoid combat unless it was heavily in his
favour. Will the Italians judge the odds in their favor and engage the British in a decisive battle? Or can the British
escorts close for battle in either case? Scale 1/2400
