Two US entry markers added by the Vichy Creation (6?).

Free French areas were pretty much as expected. A couple of minor exceptions.

CW is not happy with the transfer of units from Morocco.

MOT -> Gibraltar
MOT -> Malta
MIL -> Rouen

That one of the units moved out of Morocco was forced into mainland France is a major miscalculation by me. Thus the MIL I thought would go to Malta ended up in France, and an black print MOT on OOS Malta. Argh.

[Orm]

Axis wins the initiative (10-2), and goes first in fine weather (3).

Two bugs:

1) The Paris MIL remained on the production spiral. Feel free to edit it in next to Paris.

2) Managed to get CW production right at the cost of one one oil from England. It would be nice if you could edit one oil into England. If it is not to much trouble to do it.

xxxxxxx

No idea what is best during Vichy creation. I did as I would have done it if I was Germany. I hope it will not cause to much annoyance.

All good I will edit the fixes. Vichy I don't fuss over too much, your best decision is good enough for me.

I'm not a big fan of the teleporting abilities of whole army corps so a more logical location for troops that are leaving Morocco would be England or the nearest port on the African coast. Teleporting into Malta and France avoids all the risks of using conventional transportation. I happy to make those edits as well if you agree and let me know what you want where. Otherwise leave as is and we both have to live with it.

[Orm]

Leave as is, is my suggestion.

If we play another game we can make some sort of house rule about it. Arriving as reinforcements is what I think the rule should have been (so that they are away for a turn).

I found the explanation for the extra oil needed on the Japan ships. I didn't send you the save for Allied RTB, you worked from the save you had at Axis SAS. You would have known any difference. There were ships SAS in the Sea of Japan, specifcally the CV I was going to use to port atatck the USSR subs. You would have known any difference.
I don't know whether to live it or not

Good that an explanation was found.

I thought you didn't post a save because you didn't intend stay at sea with any other ships except CPs. Do not understand what you say that I would know or not.

Anyway. Good to see that you are good enough with the situation to continue onwards. Although, I wouldn't have minded if you had continued onwards with a little less success with the ground strikes.
