With the inevitable end of the holidays approaching, my time for wargaming is slipping away but I'm going to squeeze in at least one more game of Find, Fix and Strike before I have to pack everything up for the trip home. I have a scenario all ready to go, the 'Follow that Flat Top' aircraft carrier escort mission, but I may well just throw some models on to the table for a 'What If?' nocturnal clash between the Marine Nationale and the Regia Marina off the island of Pantelleria.
The First Battle of Guadalcanal is my inspiration for this, with the French taking the role of the US and the Italians the Japanese. The scenario map above has been adapted from a scenario for Naval Thunder, so it should be a challenging but realistic re-enactment, albeit shifted several thousand mile to the Med. I've also thought about setting up a destroyer scenario involving Free French against Vichy forces, possibly based on an actual WWII destroyer clash, but that's all a bit sketchy at the moment, so who knows?
