If you have time this evening Ormster can you send over the game so that I can get working on the end of turn stuff for the Soviets, ChiComms and French please?

I will. Just rolling for partisans.

End of Turn

One partisan appears in China.

[warspite1]

Okay chaps - usual question. For planning purposes, is there any expectation of play tonight and/or over the weekend?

[Orm]

I hope that I can collect enough information so that I can complete the end of turn this evening or tomorrow morning. But que sera, sera.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AllenK reported that he is busy this weekend and can't play before Sunday evening.

I will send German instructions today or tomorrow. I will also send instructions for Italian and Japanese (I think there is only 1 or 2 ships to return) RTB.

AllenK have to tell what Japan is going to build.

[Orm]

If Germany place their entry markers I can do the US entry and mail a new save.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany places markers to defense (0 value markers to offense). If there is a 0 value marker in defense, move it to offense.

Units destroyed

Gents can I make another suggestion please?

Where one party is going to be off line for any length of time, can we not say that the other team member can make decisions? This is particularly true of weekends which represent the best chance of making serious headway.

Suggestion:
I am sure this is happening anyway but both players on each team have a rough idea what their colleague is doing.

If they are then unable to play for at least a couple of nights (but the other person is) then the other person takes control.

I am just mindful that we have yet to get the USSR and the US in the war and when they do, turns will really start to take a long time.

Thoughts?

Just remember that you can not transfer the best markers at once due to the bug I told you about earlier. The program always moves the lowest marker regardless of the one selected.

Edit: Currently it will take 6 turns before you can move the best marker on turn 7. If you transfer the 0 marker it will then be 8 turns before the best marker can be moved.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes I remember. I want 0 marker from defense to offense. Next impulse I take Gibraltar and I want to break the pact soon [;)]

But just in case of disaster I place new markers to defense.

Edit: I think this is quite bad bug, it cannot be worked around. Except maybe editing save file, I take a look at it tonight.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I received guidelines from AllenK, Axis instructions will follow tonight.

US place one Entry Chit in the European pool.

USA starts a Oil Embargo against Japan.

One Entry Chit was moved to the Japanese Tension Pool.

Have sent Mayhemizer some instructions so he can play on in my absence.
