Breakdown the German Corps like so:

Send the saved oil to production in Munich to max out German production.

Send the saved oil in Milan to production for Italy so they have seven BP.

Japan production is fine at 16 BP.

Reinforcements:

Pilots in the Stuka, F-4, and E-4 for Germany. Place Rommel and the Stuka in Cologne. The F-4 in Stettin and the E-4 in Saarbrucken.

Italian sub in La Spezia.

None for Japan.

Trade changes:

Drop the number of resources lent to Italy by Germany to just two.

If the Axis win the initiative, the Axis will go first but no reroll.

The die roller we have been using has been shut down.

Any suggestion how to proceed with our game? New die roller? Use the MWIF internal die roller?

I suggest using acts.warhorsesim.com. It's clunky but works until we can find a better one. You will have to create an account to use it. Until you figure it out, I can roll for us if you tell me what kind of roll you need?

Sound good?

[Orm]

Sounds like a plan. Thank you.

[NatRapsEno]

Axis win the initiative, which included a reroll, and the weather roll is 3.

PeskPesk got the first email, Johannes should have received the other two emails.

[NatRapsEno]

I just tested the roller at https://dicelog.com/dice and it's much easier to use than the one at acts.warhorsesim. I suggest we use that one going forward.

[Orm]

Back to Axis. Have fun.
