Voluntary Resource Lending:
Modified; Germany -> Italy: 9 resources, (2 oil, minimum) + 4 BPs

Allies goes first if we win the initiative. No re-roll.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

SO Recourse lending for Allies was
CW to USSR 1 BP no resources
FF to CW 2 res no oil
US to CW and FF 2 BPs

Can someone please confirm if this is correct and/or possible?

CW production
(CW BP from India to USSR)
(2 convoys are used USEC-North Atlantic-Faeroes Gap to ship US BPs)
-> max 13 resources can be shipped to UK

22 total factories
routes for resources to factories

17 factories in UK
2 res from UK
1 res from Portugal (via BoB)
3 res from Africa (via CSV and North Atlantic)
1 FF res from Africa (via Central and North Atlantic)
5 res from Canada (via East Coast and North Atlantic)
2 res from South America (via Central and North Atlantic)
1 oil res from Trinidad (via Central and North Atlantic)
2 oils are burned in UK for production

2 factories in Canada
1 res from Australia
1 res from Canada

2 factories in India
2x res from India

1 factory in Australia
1 res from Australia

all 22 factories are used = 28 BPS
1 sent
2 received
= 29 BPs for CW

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 42 ND EOT:
US 50 BPs (Must save one BP as there is only one CP convoy line from France)
SU 37 BPs (1 from last turn CW trade that went bad and was not saved correctly)
FF 2 BPs
CW 29 BPs

Trade

Allied win initiative and go first. Weather is not what I expected.

[Courtenay]

Allied 42 ND EOT:
US 50 BPs (Must save one BP as there is only one CP convoy line from France)

If the US said that it was shipping two BPs to France and could only ship one, the second BP is lost, not saved.

ORIGINAL: Courtenay

Allied 42 ND EOT:
US 50 BPs (Must save one BP as there is only one CP convoy line from France)

If the US said that it was shipping two BPs to France and could only ship one, the second BP is lost, not saved.

In that case US must compensate next turn by discarding 2 BPs. First turn after invasion we had no CP in West Med at all.

I mean first impulse we were not shipping anything. Did we have to pick them up automatically or keep in Marseilles?

Jan/Feb 1943 Allied impulse 1 - start of the impulse.


SITUATION REPORT TO ALLIED HQ


LAST TURN
Last turn Allied managed to get another small bridgehead to France, this time in Northern France. Allies also have little larger, but under immediate danger, bridgehead in Southern France. For a year or two Allies have been holding 3 hexes in Denmark.

Germany captured Murmansk causing massive losses to USSR, mostly in planes and pilots. Strong Axis air forces can be diverted to other fronts.


SITUATION IN EACH BRIDGEHEAD
Weather is fine everywhere in Western Europe during the first impulse.

Southern bridgehead must be covered, if being cut out of supply it will be destroyed very soon. Attacking is not possible.

Northern bridgehead is strong compared to surrounding forces, but attacking is very risky.

Denmark bridgehead is safe, but cannot attack.

Allied need more units to North Africa before they can attack without big risk.


ENEMY SITUATION IN WESTERN EUROPE
Germany deployed almost all their fresh troops to Eastern Front. Most likely due to USSR constant attacks and losses caused to Germany. USSR is also building offensive chits, next summer they will have 3 of them. Germany is probably preparing for USSR summer offensive.

Axis are capable to challenge Allied forces in West Med and try to cut supply from southern bridgehead. Axis forces are strong around southern bridgehead.

Axis cannot perform attacks to other bridgeheads, just prevent Allied from advancing.

Axis have large number of all kind planes in Western Europe.
