Italy rebased Falco to Greece. Germany shuffled a few planes around France and fighter moved to next to Taranto. Japan rebased a fighter to Sasebo

No Reorg.

Turn ends on a 1.

Germany placed both markers on defense and moved one from offense to defense.

Reinforcements:

Germany - Place the 2-5 mech div in Konigsberg.

Italy - Put pilot in Gabbiano. Place in Palermo. Littorio in La Spezia.

Japan - CP and 5-4 Infantry Corps in Tokyo.

Remove pilots from all the planes in picture below:

I will need to see where Allied Reinforcements are placed before I decide if Axis will move first - if they win the initiative.

MWIF doesn't always list all the units to be reorganized in the same order. Which German SUB is not to be reorganized?
3-4-7 in Genoa
3-5-8 in Genoa
3-5-6 in Kiel
Edit: BTW, I think one of the CL can be reorganized as well without using up the second oil.

The 3-4-7 German sub is the obvious choice.

Indeed. However, the difference in locations made me hesitate. Thank you.

Good point. I should not have used the word 'obvious'.

Allies wins the initiative, and will go first. Unless, of course, Axis demands a re-roll.
