In the simulated campaign, destroying most of Italy's active fleet creates an opportunity for a naval invasion of Central Italy and an advance on Rome. Tactical success at sea opens a strategic objective ashore, though the game compresses the political and logistical demands of such an operation. Italy is left with one active light cruiser, one destroyer, and four submarines while Britain repairs damaged battleships and considers freeing resources by scrapping old submarines. The timing of the invasion depends on the condition and balance of the surviving fleet.
