Four battleships and eight heavy cruisers were available, with three more battleships being fitted out. However, there were no aircraft carriers (initially), not least because the Regia Marina was intended to operate near to friendly air bases in Italy and Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs might be expected from a force operating among the islands of the Mediterranean, light forces were quite numerous, including 14 light cruisers, 128 destroyers and 62 motor torpedo boats, which was a weapon favoured by the Italians and well suited to local conditions. No less than 115 submarines were available. The main Italian naval base was at Taranto, home of the battleship force. Lighter groups were based out of ports on the Italian mainland, Sicily and the Red Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Regia Marina was primarily tasked with interrupting British logistics and trade through the Mediterranean, and with keeping the Axis nations’ links to North Africa open. Major actions with the Royal Navy were not desirable nor really necessary for this mission to be carried out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquila-class Carrier - Aquila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConte di Cavour-class Battleship – Conte di Cavour 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtna-class cruiser – Etna 1942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZara-class cruiser – Pola 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuigi Cadorna-class cruiser – Luigi Cadorna 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavigatori-class Destroyer x3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorpedo-Bomber Aircraft – Reggiane RE.2001 Falco II x4 flights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip Cards and Damage Sliders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eModels supplied unassembled and unpainted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warlord Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victory at Sea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regia Marina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStock Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this item is not currently in stock at time of order, we will order it for you as a \u003cstrong\u003eDirect Order\u003c\/strong\u003e from Warlord Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect Order items are sourced directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
