Axis will search North Sea. The German fighter in two box dropped from the zone. Any allied support?
No, thank you.

5 CPs on Iceland. Remaining ships in Frederikshavn.

Any aborting Danish ships will head for Belfast.

Land actions for Japan and Germany. Combined for Italy

No naval move for Italy

Strategic bombing of Lyons misses.

Germany rails 3 units to the western front. land units move toward western front. Italian supply unit moves across AES.

German units move into CopenHagen and Frederikshaven. Skram was destroyed, Juel captured. CP escapes. Interception in North Sea by German nav fails.

Turn ends. no partisans. Germany placed both markers on offense. I placed the USSR marker on defense. You can move it next turn if you like. File sent for US Entry. Their marker value is 2033. As I indicated in a PM, probably best for Allies to run SAS, RTB, and Axis oil usage thru them to avoid saved oil bug. If that is acceptable to your team, let me know and I will provide instructions.

Yes. I can run the end of turn with instructions.

Would it be ok to run it that way until the initiative?

Germany should have 2 CBV in the force pool. For Vienna, and for Bratislava. For some reason, or rather because of a bug, they are in the future force pool. Any way to fix that? Or is editing the way to go?

US place their entry marker vs Japan, and select no entry option.

The save I sent you should allow you to conduct US entry.

Axis SAS instructions - All German units return to base. naval units to Kiel. German nav to 46,37. Italian Sparviero to hex due west of Bremen. Gabby to 46,38. Sub in CSV to La Spezia. Subs in West Med move down a box.

Oil instructions - Use 2.45 oil for Germany. Priority for oil are ground units, then air units, then subs, then surface ships. Italy use .45. Leave the sub in West Med unoiled. For Japan, use .45. Leave the Amphib and Transport in Canton unoiled.

Germany should have 16, Italy 2, and Japan 10. Save the oil from Netherlands East Indies to Canton. That should free up a CP in China Sea to transport the resource from Hainen, which is now idle.

I have not had an issue with swapping files during builds or reinforcements, so for now please send me the file at Axis builds.

Travelling the next few days so responses may be slow. If I get a few minutes later today, I will go ahead and send you Axis build and reinforcement instructions.
