Malta falls.

Germany rebases the Heija to Western France. Fighter from Sicily to Northern Italy.

Turn ends.

File sent for US Entry.

[Orm]

US place one marker in the European poo, select to gear up production, and that cause one marker to move to the European tension pool (9).

[Orm]

Save for Axis SAS sent.

[Orm]

Losses for the turn.

CW ground forces took quite a beating.

Allied RTB sent. Since the Axis are doing RTB second, please provide EOT instructions at your earliest convenience. Thanks

[Orm]

Axis RTB sent.

I hope to be able to post our entire EoT today.

[Orm]

MWIF got stuck in the search and seizure step. MWIF wrongly believes that a S&S may be performed in Faeroes Gap. This should not be allowed since it is only CW CPs shipping any resources.

Anyway. Sending the Venezuelan oil to UK for production instead of the US ones should avoid this bug. Although the only reason I didn't send the Venezuelan oil in the first place is that I previously found them buggy when changing orders.

Should I change this and send you a new Axis RTB save?

[NatRapsEno]

Sure, whatever you think is best.

[NatRapsEno]

If we need to backup to SAS again I can pull the sub out of remaining in Faeroes Gap, if that's what is causing the Search and Seizure to activiate

[Orm]

I will change my resource allocation, and see if that solves the issue, and then send you a new save for Axis RTB. If I can not get that to work then we can try to remove the SUB.

I will try and do it tomorrow.

[NatRapsEno]

Sure, no problem.

[NatRapsEno]

I sent you another save after Axis RTB which has the sub returning to base. Please go ahead and use it. Wrestling with the British convoy system is awful. Leaving that sub there is not critical to the game.

[Orm]

Thank you. New save sent.
