Navy out of bases, what next?

[ThaHoward]

In short, as Germany (and help from allies) I have taken all of North Africa, Suez, Syria-Palestine, Cyprus, Malta and Gibraltar, and now Spain joined me. The UK have nowhere to send its fleet, which is massive in the west med.

The combined fleet of Germany and Italy can't take that doomstack out in regular battle. But they have no bases to dock in or get supplies from, and can't escape the med.

Will the ships cease to exist? Or will they run out off fuel and supplies/org eventually so we can pick out the majority of the British fleet?

I think they still count as being in supply since they 'rebase' to whatever bases the allies still have. But since they can't get there (since the straits / suez canal are both blocked) they can't repair.

Thus over time you can whittle them down with repeated naval strikes but they don't suffer any / much penalties for being trapped.

At least that is what I remember from having some of ships trapped in previous games.

Storms will cause some attrition. Put 400 fighters and 400 naval bombers on them, eventually they will get worn down.
