This only works if there are only Italian aricraft scrambling. I usually use two fighters from the United Kingdom terirtory, and the fighter from Malta-the fighter from Girbraltar should be used along with the cruiser off of Girbraltar (it takes three submarines to have more than an 80% chance to kill it, my normal standard to win a battle, so the submarines are usually used for easier prey in the north, especially if Germany attacks the Soviet Union in the first turn, which will nessecitate one submarine in sea zone 125) to destroy the Italian navy off of Malta. If a German aircraft lands in Southern Italy, I usually will call of the attack, as there is a less than 80% chance to win. All of this assumes Germany invades the Soviet Union in the first turn.
Strategic bombing raids and heavy bombers

Just to clarify, if heavy bombers do a strategic bombing raid and fighters intercept it, do the bombers roll two dice in the air combat part of the raid? Thank you!

Interesting Question.I never play with tech,but reading the rules as printed,I would have to say Yes.
pg 41"When attacking,whether in a battle or a strategic bombing raid,roll 2 dice for each bomber and select the best result"
Pg 17 bombers and escorts are referred to as “attackers” in an air battle that precedes a strategic bombing raid.
What I learned here is heavy bombers defend the same as regular bombers.This may get clarified by Krieg or Panther. -
Its 1 dice for each plane on dog fighting or escort intercepting. I’m sure it will be confirmed shortly.

@ampdrive is correct.

SO heavy bombers only get to roll 2 dice for air battle ?

I’ll rephrase it. Heavy bombers get 2 dice to roll against interceptors and picks the best one ?
