The Richelieu has no fire control to represent its incomplete concstruction. The hull hits are the result of torpedo and bomb damage during the Britsih raid by aircraft from Ark Royal. British destroyers and French Light Cruisers may lay smoke. The French start on the table in line-ahead formation. The head of the column may begin up to half way across the table(the the long axis of the table representing North-South), but all ships must set up in the Southern half of the table. The French objective is to exit the North edge of the table. The British enter on the first turn from any edge of the table in the Southern half.
