Land actions for Germany and Italy. Combined for Japan.

Japan's lone naval move was to pick up the AA gun from Japan and debark it into Korea.

Obvious assault below since a retreat into Belgium and he will surrender during EOT.

Turn ends.

No partisans.

Germany placed their markes on Offense and moved one over to offense from defense. Placed the USSR marker on offense.

Turn sent for US Entry play.

Question: I thought that the -1 modifier for each extra attacking MP after the first always applied in 2d10. Regardless of the option. I am wrong in this?

You seem to have proved, this is not the case. It raises the question, which "2d10" table MWIF really uses, probably not the one you just posted in the MWIF charts thread?

The one I posted there is from within MWIF itself. So it should use that one.

That only applies when Allied Combat Friction is turned on, which it is not.
