If I can, and if required, Re-Roll
I will go first if I get the opportunity to choose

[warspite1]

Mayhemizer can you look out for the German oil position please? Once again there is something really weird happening. On the May/Jun 1940 Impulse 8 (and 9) the Germans have 7 in Berlin and 2 in Lodz = 9. The Germans spent one more than they saved in this current production round. But the Germans now have just 4 oil!!!!! Italy and Japan seem fine - but goodness knows what is going on in Germany....


Just to confirm it's not me going mad......

Let's only do editing as a last resort yes? I can't understand how this has happened so I will re-do too. The only thing I did differently was ticked the box that allows other nations oil to be included - just to see what that was all about - but I unticked it so shouldn't have caused an issue....

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US marker to Japan pool.
No entry options.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

There is something wrong or weird with production.

CW productions shows that Newcastle Australia resource should go to Montreal, but it's not going. I have unused CPs on Pacific. losing that one resource does not effect my BPs, so I let it be this time.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

We had lots of action in all fronts.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany has 8 oils saved just like it should be.
Japan has 12 oils saved just like it should be.
Italy has only 3 (because of last turn end problems).

I will edit file now at the start of the turn to give Italy one oil and CW one oil (I had to use one saved oil to production this turn end, Australian resource refused to go to Canada).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Oils are edited now.

[warspite1]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer_slith

Oils are edited now.

warspite1

We've upgraded to the latest version. This is deeply disappointing.... Let's hope the editing doesn't cause further problems down the line...

Don't forget Italy is also owed an oil from the last end of turn too (see post 387).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

J/A 40 Allied 1

No DoW

France and China land, others combined.


Naval air
2 planes to Baltic Sea.


Naval move
CW sub to Baltic Sea box 4 and 8 BBs to North Sea box 3.

US
2x CA to East Coat box 4.
Sub towards Philippines.


CW initiates combat on Baltic Sea and sends one bomber to box 1.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis can send planes to Baltic Sea. Note that Italian LND can fly too.

[warspite1]

The German fighter and Italian NAV to the 0-box please

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 4, Axis 5.

CW chooses only box 3.

CW uses all 2 points to negate AA fire.

Result is A. CW targets that to CA Admiral Hipper, CA is aborted.

Allies Stay, I believe Axis stay to the bitter end?
