2/22/21, 10:15 AM - [Allied]: what's his value?

2/22/21, 10:23 AM - [Allied]: d5098-1 x 2 = [4240, 1491] => [5, 2]
2/22/21, 10:24 AM - [Allied]: US chooses option 34 (17), "Pass War Appropriations Bill". Tension=13.

Turn 16. Mar/Apr 1942. End of Turn. Destroyed/Repair.

2/22/21, 10:29 AM - [Allied]: Needless to say this was a lousy turn for all the allies.
2/22/21, 10:29 AM - [Allied]: Do you need to file for preliminary production?
2/22/21, 10:29 AM - [Axis]: nope
2/22/21, 10:29 AM - [Allied]: copy
2/22/21, 10:30 AM - [Axis]: Your American CPs into BOB was a good move. Allowing UK production to not take such a massive hit
2/22/21, 10:30 AM - [Allied]: Well I messed up by not moving more US CPs to the BoB and also moving them to the Faeores Gap.
2/22/21, 10:30 AM - [Allied]: I got a little too cute and it was a big mistake.
2/22/21, 10:31 AM - [Allied]: Also, I somehow missed that you still had organized subs in port during my last impulse.
2/22/21, 10:31 AM - [Allied]: That miss cost me as I was preparing my ASW escorts for next turn (i.e., 1-box instead of 0).
2/22/21, 10:32 AM - [Allied]: Those two bone-headed mistakes cost the CW 8 BPs.
2/22/21, 10:32 AM - [Axis]: I try to keep a few subs in reserve for late in impulse moves
2/22/21, 10:33 AM - [Allied]: I thought I had check that but somehow I missed the Italian subs.
2/22/21, 10:33 AM - [Allied]: No excuse, just a blunder that cost the CW.
2/22/21, 10:33 AM - [Axis]: Oh, right. They were in La Spezia
2/22/21, 10:34 AM - [Allied]: Yeah, carelessness on my part.
2/22/21, 11:16 AM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
2/22/21, 11:16 AM - [Allied]: stay at sea, axis
2/22/21, 11:16 AM - [Axis]: got it
2/22/21, 11:25 AM - [Axis]: back to u
2/22/21, 11:25 AM - [Axis]: <Media omitted>
2/22/21, 11:27 AM - [Allied]: got it
2/22/21, 12:05 PM - [Allied]: Allied stay at sea is going to take me a while. Need to RTB all unused CPs. Needless risk, in my opinion, to leave any (unused) CPs at sea. And after seeing 10 more CW CPs sunk last turn, there are a lot of unused CW/USN CPs at sea!
2/22/21, 12:06 PM - [Axis]: no worries
2/22/21, 12:40 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
2/22/21, 12:40 PM - [Allied]: rtb, axis

2/22/21, 2:00 PM - [Axis]: final production numbers should be 35, 9, and 21 ( you will need to send the FIC resource to Japan. For some reason I had two resources going to Kunming, China )
2/22/21, 2:22 PM - [Allied]: Because of MWiF convoy/production recalculations I'm making so tweaks to the CPs I return to base in order to get max production. Hope that's ok.
2/22/21, 2:22 PM - [Allied]: some tweaks that is
2/22/21, 2:23 PM - [Axis]: ok
2/22/21, 2:32 PM - [Allied]: thanks.

2/22/21, 2:46 PM - [Axis]: You have to look at them. There are two resources going to the same place. When I was looking, there were two going to Kunming
2/22/21, 2:47 PM - [Axis]: See how there are two going to Kunming?
2/22/21, 2:47 PM - [Allied]: see it
2/22/21, 2:47 PM - [Axis]: I was able to fiddle with it and get the FIC resource going to a factory in Japan
2/22/21, 2:47 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
2/22/21, 2:47 PM - [Allied]: got it by clearing out the default
