Axis goes first if we win the initiative.

I am sorry for errors the errors included. They are entirely my fault.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian ship RTB seems to be from last turn. The only ships returning are BB and TRS from Italian coast. Do they go to Athens like last turn?

[Orm]

Yes, please.

Edit: I see that some of the Italian sea areas were not changed since last turn. I edited out those I thought in error in previous post.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I think I did all according to Italian instructions, BB (Paris) stay in Italian Coast.

Now at oil use instructions say that BB Paris is not reorganized. Is it OK to keep it in Box 0?

Italian oil use is 2.3, not 2,4. Hopefully nothing is wrong. Do you want to reorg best CA?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

There is something little weird in oil, but we can carry on.

USSR has 7 oils in Archangel if I look at the map. If I look at oil use chart or production planning there is 6.

[Orm]

I did not realize that there was a oil related question here.

I suggest that continuing with small oil errors is fine, and that an edit can solve issues that could have a real impact on the game.

Or one could take notes of the discrepancies, and try to fix them next time around?

I doubt that oil will be an issue in thi8s game for the Allies, and certainly not for USSR.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I don’t even know are we losing oil, just mentioned somethibg weird is happening in Archangel.

I’m at production phase, need to check from JJ one thing.

If possible, we go first but no reroll

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis go first (10-4) in rain and storm

[Orm]

I expect that we begin our impulse tomorrow, Friday.

[Orm]

I begun our impulse this afternoon. However, I needed a clarification from the German player and failed to make contact. Now I run out of playtime for the evening, so no action until tomorrow. I plan to continue then, regardless if I get any answers, or not.

I am sorry about the delay.
