FF has lend leased fighters from USA. Is there a way to scrap them as they are very old and bad? In FF sracp menu I didn’t see them.

USSR had 8 oils for a long time in Arcangel. Now there is 6. I guess I have used them by accident for reorg. Is it OK that I edit some oil there from Siberia if you cut railroad next turn so that I don’t have to back?

Yes, it is ok to do so. However, why do the actual edit until it has happened. It might not be needed.

Yes, if nothing happens I save oil there next turn end to avoid editing file.

Allied EOT

Prelim prod
CW burns 4 oils in UK to get maximum production (Glasgow and Birmingham)

NOTE
I noticed problem with CW oil. I burned 4 oil from CW, 2 from Glasgow and 2 from Birmingham. Both cities should now be at 0 oil, but both have one. This is easy to fix. Next turn end I use them for reorg and set two oil idle.

Allies go first in winter weather (initiative 3-10).

Thank Goodness, both West Med and North Sea were almost empty from our ships, only CP in each giving supply to beachheads.

Sorry to say it but somehow I overlooked the fact that the US cp in Coral Sea disappeared (sunk maybe?). I will have to change RTB instructions because there's no way any sane commander would RTB any units to Port Moresby area with no oil there. I'll re-do EOT if Petteri doesn't have time. Thanks.

No problem.

Maybe this is an easy edit fix instead?

Do what you guys think best.

Only few units to move, 1 plane, 2 ships and one div.

I have problems finding code for hexes. I thought it was 512X+Y so that Port Morespy 128.176 = 65712 but I can't find anything with that. Am I doing something wrong?

I will fix oil too later.

Problem fixed. If hex code goes over 65536, that must be subtracted from the number.

P51 moved to Shortlands, Solomon islands, BB and MTB div to Guadalcanal.

EDIT: too many ships in Guadalcanal, CA to Port Vila

EDIT2: BB and div to Port Vila too. So that CA can carry div

Italian Coast no combat rolling 9 and 6.

I assume NAV3 goes to box 0 to cover CP in the East Med.

Allied sub finds CP in the East Med rolling 3-10.

4 points used to get sub combat and rest to increase damage.
