Turn 7. Sep/Oct 1940. Allied #8. (Concluded).

1/20/21, 1:07 PM - [Allied]: Strat bombing. RAF Wellesley (2) hits the City of Lights (Paris). Goering has put up such a defensive fighter ring around possible targets in Germany that the only left (for now) are targets outside of Germany. I sure bombing Paris will endear the French to the British.
1/20/21, 1:09 PM - [Axis]: Yea. WIF should have a penalty for that but alas, they don't
1/20/21, 1:09 PM - [Allied]: Well, historically the allies did bomb targets in France and Belgium.
1/20/21, 1:10 PM - [Allied]: Never Paris I believe?
1/20/21, 1:10 PM - [Allied]: I guess technically the RAF is not bombing Paris proper but factories on the outskirts of Paris.
1/20/21, 1:11 PM - [Axis]: I just know in the books I've read about Allied strategic bombing, they never highlight that great raid on Paris
1/20/21, 1:11 PM - [Axis]: That doesn't mean there wasn't a few...I'm not certain
1/20/21, 1:11 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
1/20/21, 1:11 PM - [Allied]: missed by 1!
1/20/21, 1:12 PM - [Allied]: Though can't complain with a pair of 10's earlier for two strat raids.
1/20/21, 1:28 PM - [Allied]: SO40. Allied #8. Turn ends on 2 or less. Roll coming up.
1/20/21, 1:29 PM - [Allied]: It's an 8, turn continues. Now for the weather.

Turn 7. Sep/Oct 1940. End of Turn. (Continued).

1/21/21, 6:30 AM - [Axis]: I rolled your USA draw with the pact marker draws. It's value is 144. I know technically the USA should not know the value before selecting against which powers to draw, but at this point in the war I don't think it matters. As the USA gets closer to getting in the war, let me know if you want me to stop doing that.
1/21/21, 6:42 AM - [Allied]: That's ok. Would have drawn it for Ge/It
1/21/21, 6:44 AM - [Allied]: Actually no sure. Will have to look and I will without knowledge of chit value
1/21/21, 6:45 AM - [Allied]: Also, I'm ok was perfect knowledge of US entry and Nazi-Soviet chit values.
1/21/21, 6:45 AM - [Allied]: Not sure how to play it any other way.
1/21/21, 6:45 AM - [Axis]: That's ok, don't think it matters much yet. Initiative down to 0-0. I don't like that at this point in the war
1/21/21, 6:47 AM - [Axis]: Personally, I think it's only fair. The Allies know what's going to happen to France and can play them like suicidal maniacs...which as we know is very unrealistic. And leave their ships in the most likely places to remain free French.
1/21/21, 6:48 AM - [Allied]: Just finished my 100 push-ups with handles in <5 minutes. Off for my 3.5 mile run at the lightening 10 min/mi pace. Shower and then breakfast. See you later.&#127939;&#127995;
1/21/21, 6:49 AM - [Axis]: Later
1/21/21, 8:53 AM - [Axis]: When you get back to the game, I won't need the file back until Axis oil consumption. Germany - He 115c moves down a box. Italy - Everything moves down a box except for the subs. Sub in CSV to Bordeaux and the one in West Med to La Spezia. Japan - return anything at sea to Fukuoka.
1/21/21, 10:36 AM - [Allied]: copy.
1/21/21, 10:36 AM - [Allied]: morning.
1/21/21, 10:37 AM - [Axis]: Good morning
1/21/21, 10:40 AM - [Allied]: US entry chit not showing as drawn?
1/21/21, 10:40 AM - [Allied]: Ok for me to go ahead and draw it then?
1/21/21, 10:42 AM - [Axis]: I already drew it. The value is 144. You should have gotten an email of the roll. Rolled the pact markers and US entry at the same time since the dice type is the same
1/21/21, 10:42 AM - [Axis]: Make sense?
1/21/21, 10:42 AM - [Allied]: Ok. 144 then.
1/21/21, 10:42 AM - [Axis]: So just plug in the number 144
1/21/21, 10:43 AM - [Allied]: It's another 1 added to the Ge/Italy entry pool.
1/21/21, 10:43 AM - [Axis]: Yea, US war politics in stuck in lethergy
1/21/21, 10:43 AM - [Axis]: is stuck
1/21/21, 10:43 AM - [Allied]: US elects option 16, "Gift of destroyers to Commonwealth". Tension 7. Draw coming.
1/21/21, 10:45 AM - [Allied]: Tension (7) D10=9, no change
1/21/21, 10:47 AM - [Allied]: Might as well also choose Option 7, "Occupy Greenland and Iceland". Tension 9, draw coming.
1/21/21, 10:49 AM - [Allied]: Tension (9), D10=5, chit moved from Ge/It entry to tension. Since all 7 chits in entry are a 1 no need to roll which chit to move.
1/21/21, 10:50 AM - [Axis]: Agreed
1/21/21, 10:51 AM - [Allied]: Will also elect a 3rd option, Option 1, Chinese build aircraft. Tension 3. roll coming.
1/21/21, 10:52 AM - [Allied]: Tension (3), D10=3, no change to Japanese tension (& entry)
1/21/21, 10:53 AM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
