Naval combat doesn’t occur automatically, but requires a die roll. Count the number of naval units and opposition discs, add the result of the die roll. If the outcome is 11 or higher, we have a naval combat.
In this case, 4 British units + 3 Italian units + 3 Italian opposition discs = 10. A die roll is unneeded since any roll will be 11 or higher.

 

The Italian guns are accurate today and score 2 hits. Since my units are all of the same strength I can choose which 2 units take a hit and I choose my sub and light surface unit. Opposition fires first.

I managed to destroy an Italian heavy surface unit and weakened the remaining units, while I got minimal damage in return.
A good start for the Royal Navy.

The KS is fully funded! Stretch goals are on the line, and its a 14 day raise. I can vouch for the fact that EVERY KS done by Vento Nuovo has been on time or early.
Which is nice, as they say. 😉
