Storm Clouds Gathering (4-player game)

[Orm]

I apologize Orm, I should have sent the above message about the Junyo as a private message.

No problem at all.

[Orm]

I was looking through the game and happened to see that the Junyo would arrive in the construction pool in September for Japan. Naval Construction of an aircraft carrier is different than a new build of an aircraft carrier. I meant for the Shokaku, the only carrier in the construction pool to be constructed. I will work around this but please pay closer attention from here on out.

I am truly sorry about this. I will pay more attention in the future.

This is not an excuse. Just an explanation. I had to redo the production three times. And I am sure I got the right carrier the first two times. I suppose I got to sure of myself the third time around. Or perhaps to frustrated? The first two times I am sure because I know I double checked the production. The reasons for the redo was bugs. First time around the Dutch ship couldn't be transferred to Japan. Second time around the Chinese BP count was wrong. I do so dislike that the end of turn autosaves are not to be trusted. One Chinese BP just disappeared from the first auto-save tried.

Anyway.

I am sorry.

Italy declares war on France and the Commonwealth. One US entry chit added.

Combined actions for Japan and Italy, Land for Germany.

Japan's sole naval move was to pick up Yamamoto and move him into Canton. Italy moved their subs out to Italian Coast and West med. Just one search in West Med.

Germany moved more units from Central Germany to Western front. Shuffled units in the front lines. Italy advanced the Libyan territorial into Tunisia. Japan Yamamoto west one hex, Marine to Bangkok, Nanning volunteer towards Umezu.

Germany rebased some air to cover large factories and moved two bombers to Italy. Italy rebased Gabbiano to Sicily and bomber from Libya back to Italy.

CW will search in the Italian Coast after France has searched in the East Med. So there will be a question whether any Axis air will be sent to the Italian Coast, and if the SUB should be included.
