Campbell is famous for his ability to rapidly prepare large fleets for games. He worked on ships for operations in the Mediterranean, during the Second World War, in a quiet manner. Currently, he has both the Royal Navy and the Regia Marina. Last Thursday, a new collection was introduced in a fictional scenario, which was based on a real battle that took place near Cape Stilo. The game was played using the Nimitz rules.

2. The game.
Before the game started, we had two pre-game rounds. During these rounds, both sides launched air attacks. The first two waves of planes came from HMS Eagle, followed by Italian bombers targeting the Royal Navy. The British were much more successful in their attacks, managing to sink the Italian heavy cruiser Fiume, while the Italians only managed to lightly damage the Royal Sovereign. After the pre-games, we moved on to the actual game. The Italians had to engage the British until the end of the game while ensuring that none of their battleships was lost. On the other hand, the Royal Navy had to destroy the Italian battleships without losing any of their own.
Our strategy was straightforward - engage the Royal Navy with all our forces except for the battleships. We hoped that the British would not be able to penetrate our defences and sink our valuable large ships. Our plan worked exceptionally well. We first exchanged fire from our guns, and then both sides launched their torpedoes. The Italians were much more successful in this regard. Eventually, both Italian battleships were able to safely withdraw from the battlefield, and the British suffered more significant losses. The Italians lost Trento, Pompeo Magno, Alpino, Ascari, and Coriazzere, while the Royal Navy lost Arethusa, Gloucester, Aurora, Vendetta, Hardy, Ilex, and Hero.
