D-town MIL is attacked NE Odessa. I decline defensive air support for USSR as Germany has one FTR3 on standby.

I'm going out shortly so you have time to resubmit Italy builds as they have 12 BP not 11 BP even with the cancelled oil from Germany.

My bad. I am sorry.

I thought I had written 11 PPs, and 12 BPs, for Italy. Apparently not. I recall making that change but...

Anyway. Thank you for checking.

Note: I edited my posts to reflect the reality.
