It's kind of surptising to me that no game has ever gamed out the Pedestal convoy to Malta.
The covering Force was Nelson and Rodney. The Italians had two Littorios out, but chose not to engage.
One somewhat confusing point was the covering Force was named Force Z. Why the RN would use the same designator as Prince of Wales and Repulse seems very odd.
