No, they are trapped the first turn, sitting in harbor.

Unlike the AAP rule where the allies defend at 1, I envisioned the Special attack rules to solely apply to any Naval/Air units in the Ionian Sea. As to the second question we never play tested that scenario. It sounds reasonable, the sub rule especially. Would like to know how that works out.
I would also like to point out we were still trying to come up with “better” victory conditions. Maybe something more along the line of AAG since the Americans are not part of this game and would therefore be over by the summer of '42. Any feedback welcome.

Here is a tiled version of the map.

This will make a 20"x 30" map. Sorry it took so long.

After the Taranto raid the rest of the British turn is played as usual. All combat moves would need to be made before the actual raid of course but the rest of the combat would be normal.

@IronDuke:

I can post the rules tomorrow. My hard drive is in my office. The arrow between Sicily and Malta signifies that fighters can attack between. The rules I have been using restrict fighters to a maximum of 3 spaces - bombers 5. the rules should clear it up. I would love to get feedback after some playing if anybody gets that far. I will put up a clean map without setup as well. It was created in adobe illustrator and I print it from that software. I could break it down into multiple page PDF to solve the tiling issue.

Does that mean that a fighter moving from Malta to Sicily only needs to move 1 space?

Well let’s just say that it uses up all of it’s movement. If a fighter attacks Sicily from Malta it has to land in Malta. And vice versa.

I want a A&A North Africa with sea battles, land battles, air battles, and logistical support

I am interested in a North African or Mediterranean Theater game as well. I have been work on my own version over the past year. I have some rules that a friend and me have test a couple of times but it needs work. the map i created can be found at the following link. This pdf has the starting setup - November 1940 - with the British fleet ready for the Taranto raid.

I pre-ordered mine from Boards n Bits. Apparently, they are still on order. Anybody else have this problem. The anticipation is getting nigh unbearable. BTW this is my first ever post hope this worked.
