If editing location of units is an option. Can the two missing German CBV be edited to the force pool? Or an on-map location?

All good now, thanks for not being an asshole about that. I've never seen a float plane destroyed like that so didn't even dream of that.

I only know how to edit the location of existing units, not how to add them to a force pool.

No declaration of war.

Land for Japan, combined for Germany, Naval for Italy. Germany sent one sub into BOB. Italy sent subs to CSV. Rest of their naval moves consisted of moving into Italian Coast. Transports in two box picked up the Germany infantry from Trieste.

Searching BOB and CSV. I don't think you need the save.

Can I take the 2-box only, get 4 points, and then avoid combat? If so, then I go with that.

Edit: If not, then I pick the 3-box and use the points to increase damage on SUB.

Allies stay either way.

Germany shuffles a few units around the Western Front. Japan moves in for an attack on the Kunming militia. Germany debarks two infantry corps into Albania and another corps rails to Trieste.

One Italian cruiser, and one Dutch SUB, aborted.

Allies stay. Does Italy stay? Any air if they stay? Edit: Already answered. :)

Combined actions for Italy and Germany, land for Japan.

German fleet moves into North Sea 4 box. Intercept this Italian naval move leaving La Spezia?
