Title: Italian North Africa Shipping Box
Post by: georgemak1 on August 17, 2015, 06:05:57 PM: What's the purpose of the Italian North Africa Shipping Box SW of Sicily? It doesn't have a PP value or a lend lease circle?

Post by: Mark on August 18, 2015, 02:28:56 AM: Not any more - I think we should remove it to avoid confusion.

With the oil bonus as income, it can be a great target. Doesn't seem like any harm to keep it - we just need to define the zone like we do in the Pacific...

Post by: georgemak1 on August 18, 2015, 06:52:12 AM: It will be nice if it had PP value for the allies to strategically attack it, one more headache for the Italian Navy and Airforce.

Post by: georgemak1 on December 04, 2015, 07:01:45 AM: I think it should be a 3PP convoy zone, Allies can have a fgt or a naval/tactical bomber to harass the Axis convoy zone like they did. Mark???

Post by: Darkman on December 04, 2015, 08:31:19 PM: I would agree to George.

3 PP for Tripoli , Benghazi, Tobruk. similiar to the Japanese convoy zones.

If the italian own these territories you can bomb the convoy Zone.
