ORIGINAL: Red Prince
The CW bid for Cape St. Vincent did force the Italians to take something other than a Land Action this impulse. They settled on a Naval Action, and they're going to try to clear the CW out of that sea area again. They'll also use the opportunity to move a few troops across the Med and set up an invasion of the Balaeric Islands that is long overdue.
Germany is going to continue with Land Actions, of course, and they're also going to send Rommel back to the Eastern Front to help Mannerheim maintain supply in this lousy weather.
As for the Japanese, now that Burma is cleaned up, they can take a full Naval Action to move more troops to India and add defenders to the outer rim of their sphere of influence. They might also try to set up a few more invasions with divisions, just to be a pain for the Allies. The ports in the Gilbert Islands and the Ellice Islands can be cut off from supply for an impulse, at least, which makes for automatic invasions -- unless the USA can re-establish supply and/or drive away the ships carrying the divisions before the next Axis impulse.
I'll probably get around to some of this today, but it may be tomorrow before I post the results.
What is the Italian objective in the Cape St. Vincent? Why attack a CW fleet using the Italian navy at sea at this point? Or is that fleet capable of doing a port attack on the Italians (there should be FTR cover on the Italian fleet in port)? Is there an invasion force with this CW fleet or TRS? If not: it might be better to ignore them for the moment.
You don't want to go into a war of attrittion with the CW/US fleet, except when there is something to gain for the Axis. Gains are the probable killing of US/CW TRS and especially AMPH, which are the most important naval units IMHO. If there isn't an invasion force on that fleet, ignore it, since it cannot do a lot of harm. It is only there to kill the Italian navy in the first place.
