Any changes in the Axis lending?

[Orm]

Allies will go first if we win the initiative. Although the initiative track is on Axis +2 so that we get to decide feels unlikely. [:)]

Edit: Although Allies win ties so not all hope is gone. [:D]

Edit2: I am going to roll for initiative before the lending resources is complete in order to advance the game a bit faster.
