One Night in Taranto (makes a bald man humble) is a solitaire game on the attack of the Swordfish of the Royal Navy against the Italian Fleet in the port of Taranto, 11th November 1940. It resulted in serious damages to the ships, without much losses for the British planes. It was a great and bold success. This game is a simple (4 pages of rules) recreation of that air raid, with a single map and 144 counters. It plays fast and has a lot of variants, to make it re-playable several time. Bought by LPS, has been published on the 2011 annual of Against the Odds, with the name of Terrible Swift Swordfish
