Initial Deployment: The Atlantis, supported by a squadron of Fi 167 torpedo bombers attempts to contest the sector against a trio of British destroyers supported by fighters and Sunderlands.
Turn 1: The Atlantis remains within the bank of squalls while the Destroyers advance. The German torpedo bombers try to disrupt the British formation and, while they avoid the defending fighters, flak from the HMS Mohawk eliminates the squadron. The Sunderland drops mines to limit the raider's maneuver options.
Turn 2: The squalls collide, making very messy weather, but two of the three destroyers move right in, while the Mohawk covers the Southern route. None of the gunfire has any effect.
Turn 3: The ships close within the storm front. The Sunderlands brave the weather and land a bomb hit and then the ships exchange fire. The HMS Tartar is crippled but the Atlantis is blown up by the HMS Mohawk.
Conclusion: The sector is captured by the British at the cost of only a crippled destroyer.
