Hmmm. It seem like the saved Vichy oil in Syria didn't get transferred to mainland Vichy last end of turn. Perhaps this can be fixed? Should be one less oil in Syria and one in mainland Vichy. At least that is how I understand it.

Well, attrition is going to happen to your air planes at random points and I would take 2 shot down in exchange for my desired weather rolls on any turn of the game.
This was another fascinating run through a campaign in Greece. I am starting to think it is quite a bit like a WiF campaign in Norway where the corps sized units can't possibly cover the same amount of possibilities that historical Commanders-in-Chief could, on both sides.
Facing a plethora of Axis divisions, Greece has little choice but to hunker down in Athens.
Though in this game I started wondering - what if the Greek MTN unit was placed in the center of the Peloponnesos peninsula, the hex with the letters "PONN" in it. This would put a ZoC on both Patras and Kalamai and keep the Axis out of them for at least one impulse, as they would still have adjacent hexes to land in for free if desired.
And then the Axis surprise Ground Strikes seemed like a brilliant way to just pin the MTN unit anway, and stacking it in Athens would only draw the Ground Strikes there as well. And Athens still has to be held or the Axis can just land adjacent to it, also.
So far though, I haven't been able to parse through whether costing the Axis an extra impulse of activity in southern Greece would have ultimately made any difference, though the results of the Ground Strike on the MTN unit would be a key variable. Still though, WiF is a game of time, not units, and an extra weather roll might not hurt the chance for the Greeks to at least cost the Axis some of either. I think.

Yes, I can fix that.
If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
Very discouraging turn in China and Greece, clear weather and nice Axis success in both places. US doesn't seem to care about much and entry remains very low even considering SU DOW on JP in 1940 (or it seems this way from Allied perspective). Allied morale plummeting.
Preliminary planning:
Germany - 26 production points - 18 BPs.
Italy - 10 production points - 8 BPs.
Japan - 15 production points - 14 BPs. Save one NEI oil in Shanghai, and one NEI oil in Tokyo.
Vichy France - One saved oil in Beirut is saved in Lyons instead - 2 production points - 2 BPs.
Stay at sea:
The following units stay at sea.
Germany:
East Med: FTR2 (Bf 109 in 1-box)
Baltic Sea: 4 x CPs.
All 4 Vichy CPs stay at sea.
Italy:
East Med: 2 x CA (Eugenio Di Savoia, Bolzano) (1-box)
West Med: 2 x CA (3-box)
Italian Coast: CP, 2 x CA (3-box)
Japan:
Japanese Coast: 3 x CPs XXX Note that 2 CPs return to port XXX
China Sea: 9 x CP
South China Sea: 4 x CP
Return to Base:
Germany:
North Sea: BB + CP -> Kiel
CSV: 2 x SUB -> Brest
East Med: FTR3 -> Syracuse; NAV3 -> 74,39; FTR2 (He 112) -> 74,40
CVB: SUB -> Brest
Vichy France:
-
Italy:
Italian Coast: NAV2 -> 75,40; FTR2 -> La Spezia
CSV: SUBs -> Bordeaux
West Med: CA + BB + SUB -> La Spezia
East Med: All ships (3 x BB + 5 X CA + TRS -> La Spezia
CVB: SUB -> Bordeaux
Japan:
Japanese Coast: 2 CPs -> Fukuoka
Use Oil:
Germany:
All units are reorganized for 2 oil (2.4). Use 2 saved oil in Budapest.
Italy:
All units are reorganized for 2 oil (2.0?). Use 1 oil in Milan, and 1 in Rome.
Japan:
All units except one CA (Kako) + CP (?) are reorganized for 1 oil (1.45). Use 1 oil in Canton.
Vichy France:
0 oil (0.1) is used to reorganize CP in West Med + CP in CSV.
Breakdown: -
Prod plan Final:
Germany - No changes needed - 18 BPs
Italy - No changes needed - 8 BPs
Japan - No changes should be needed - 14 BPs
Vichy France - No changes should be needed - 4 BPs + transfer of saved oil to mainland France
