2/15/21, 12:59 PM - [Axis]: ok
2/15/21, 1:03 PM - [Allied]: I think I know when this bug occurs. It appears to occur when you use oil from saved multiple oil points for production.
2/15/21, 1:03 PM - [Axis]: hmmm, interesting
2/15/21, 1:10 PM - [Allied]: See you now have all 3 oil back from Romania.

2/15/21, 1:28 PM - [Allied]: Rules question.
2/15/21, 1:30 PM - [Allied]: Last turn the US choose option 20,"US Land-Based Air Escort". Do these air escorts have to already be at sea or can they react?
2/15/21, 1:30 PM - [Axis]: ok
2/15/21, 1:31 PM - [Axis]: Pretty sure they can react
2/15/21, 1:31 PM - [Axis]: 90% sure
2/15/21, 1:32 PM - [Allied]: Looking at the rules as coded I see this, "Clarification: This includes U.S. planes reacting to any threatened Allied convoys in those sea zones."
2/15/21, 1:32 PM - [Allied]: So if it's ok we
2/15/21, 1:32 PM - [Allied]: So if it's ok we'll agree to play that way and make it so if MWiF doesn't allow it?
2/15/21, 1:33 PM - [Allied]: The clarification is the rules as coded seems to make that the intent.
2/15/21, 1:33 PM - [Axis]: of course
2/15/21, 1:34 PM - [Axis]: I think MWIF get's it right, but we can work around it if it doesn't
2/15/21, 1:34 PM - [Allied]: Thanks.
2/15/21, 1:35 PM - [Allied]: Though still technically neutral the USA is taking a active roll in the air and sea to protect CW convoys. Take that Lindbergh!
2/15/21, 1:36 PM - [Axis]: lol
2/15/21, 3:05 PM - [Allied]: still making my naval moves
2/15/21, 3:06 PM - [Axis]: no worries
2/15/21, 3:14 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
2/15/21, 3:15 PM - [Allied]: Got full production back for the CW. However; 60 of 81 CW CPs on the map are threaten. And of those 60, 39.2 are considered at risk.
2/15/21, 3:16 PM - [Axis]: nice job though
2/15/21, 3:16 PM - [Allied]: While I've gotten CW production back to 100%, the CW has NO margin in CPs (i.e., no reserves).
2/15/21, 3:16 PM - [Allied]: Don't think (hope not) I'm telling you anything you don't already know.
2/15/21, 3:25 PM - [Axis]: You're not. I've noticed that when the UK gets to around 80 CPs, they start to struggle

2/15/21, 3:40 PM - [Axis]: Yep
2/15/21, 3:41 PM - [Allied]: Still, this Battle of the Atlantic has kept the CW on the defensive and pretty much taken all initiative away. And then add the Battle for the Med that's been raging most of this game.
2/15/21, 3:42 PM - [Allied]: You've given me so many problems to work as the Western Allies. And worse, you continue to add the problem list!
2/15/21, 3:47 PM - [Allied]: CA Fiji moves from Liverpool to Bay of Biscay. Intercept? 2 of less is required.

2/15/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied]: have finished all the allied naval moves.
2/15/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied]: I know it took some time but I really enjoy this part of the game.
2/15/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied]: What I don't enjoy is seeing my convoys sunk!
2/15/21, 3:56 PM - [Allied]: And my production disrupted!
2/15/21, 3:56 PM - [Axis]: It's a fun part of the game no doubt
2/15/21, 3:57 PM - [Allied]: It's taken me a while (several years and several plays) to really appreciate the elegance and historical realism of the naval part of MWiF.
2/15/21, 3:57 PM - [Axis]: Yes. Game designer did a wonderful job

2/17/21, 11:15 AM - [Allied]: Allies get 2 SPs which they use to increase their air-to-air from -3 to -2. FYI: with your air-to-air at +3 using the the 2 SPs to reduce it to +2 wouldn't do any good (i.e., would remaining in the +2/+3 column).
