This only works if there are only Italian aricraft scrambling. I usually use two fighters from the United Kingdom terirtory, and the fighter from Malta-the fighter from Girbraltar should be used along with the cruiser off of Girbraltar (it takes three submarines to have more than an 80% chance to kill it, my normal standard to win a battle, so the submarines are usually used for easier prey in the north, especially if Germany attacks the Soviet Union in the first turn, which will nessecitate one submarine in sea zone 125) to destroy the Italian navy off of Malta. If a German aircraft lands in Southern Italy, I usually will call of the attack, as there is a less than 80% chance to win. All of this assumes Germany invades the Soviet Union in the first turn.
Standardization of Dice Colors

Young Grasshopper now also has attack dice with rounded edges that will debut on HBG. Video is posted on youtube. The color combo is:
Black - 1
Green -2
Blue - 3
Red - 4Just FYI.

We simply match our dice color to the chip colors used under stacks of units. On our table it is:
white=one
gray=two
green=three
red=four (dice only, since red chips indicate five)It’s just a house rule kind of thing, making it easier when you grab dice for rolls. We have two dice towers and four buckets of dice on our table.

red=four (dice only, since red chips indicate five)I would do it that way, but he indicated in his you tube video that the white embossed “explosion” would have to be a different color on white dice and not be uniform to the other dice. I see that as an issue.
