Naval move
FF cp WM RTB's through CSV. Will IT flip SUB to intercept? If so NAV will react from Gib to 0 box then will IT commit SUB? (I think there are 2 choices in there so I thought I'd get them both out of the way in one go)

[Orm]

No intercept. Thank you.

Use Oil:

Germany:
All units, escept CA (Dalmacija) + 2 CP + SUB) are reorganized for 6 oil (6.45). Use the oil that can be used in Leningrad, and then use the oil in Nice, and then the oil Any more oil needed then take saved oil from Berlin. If any oil in Nice remains can it be relocated to Eastern Germany or Austria or so?

Italy:
All units are reorganized for 4 oil (3.8).

Japan:
All units are reorganized, escept 2 x CA (Haguro + Idzumo) are reorganized for 5 oil (5.4). Use 1 oil in Hanoi, and the rest from Japan.

Oil:
CW reorg all for 7,3 oil

I forgot to fix CW oil situation in UK. There are still 2 extra oils (should be 9 now). I try to remember to fix this next turn end.

Axis win initiative and they go first.

We got game freezed at lend resource phase, US making decisions. Solution was to change US lended resources for one turn only. Thanks to Orm I didn't have to do turn end again.

Jul/Aug '42
Impulse #1 (Axis)

No declarations of war.

Land: Germany
Combined: Italy
Naval: Japan

No port strikes. No naval air.

Naval Movement:

Italy:
SUB (Brest) -> Norwegian Sea 4-box
SUB (Brest) -> Arctic Ocean 2-box

Japan:
2 CP (Bay of Bengal) -> Batavia
SUB (Batavia) -> Azanian Sea 3-box
SUB (Batavia) -> Mozambique Channel 1-box
SUB (Truk) -> Christmas Island 2-box
SUB (Truk) -> New Zealand Coast 2-box
SUB (Tokyo) -> Coral Sea 2-box
CVL (Fukuoka) -> China Sea 3-box
BB (Canton) -> South China Sea 3-box
2 BB (Canton) -> South China Sea 0-box
TRS + INF (Fukuoka) -> Singora
BB (Tokyo) -> Bismarck Sea 3-box

Six sea areas for Axis to search in. And they plan to search in them all. First up is the Norwegian Sea.

When the turn comes to the Arctic ocean will the USSR reinforce the sea area with any air? And when the turn comes to the New Zealand coast the US has the option to reinforce the sea area with air. Will US do so?

In the Norwegian Sea the CW ATR can reach up to the 2-box. Will the ATR fly?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW ATR to box 2
USSR FTR2 to Arctic Ocean box 0

Can I please have picture of NZ when that comes up?

[Orm]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer_slith

Can I please have picture of NZ when that comes up?

Sure.

Will roll searches soon.

[Orm]

Aix rolls 5 in the Norwegian sea while Allies roll 7. Axis selects to fight only against the CP and sinks it. Italy stays in the sea area. Assuming that CW stay as. The Italian SUB then avoids combat. well.

[Orm]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer_slith

Can I please have picture of NZ when that comes up?

The NZ area will look like this when it comes up. The US naval bomber can reach up to the 1-box. Now back to the next Italian search.

[Orm]

No combat in the Arctic Ocean. Axis 5, Allies 3.

Edit: Japan begin searching in Christmas Island.
