Breakdown the XI Motorized Corps for Germany like so:
Production numbers should look like the below:

You will have to save one of the Ploesti oil to Bratislava to get the Katowice resource used.
Italian and Japan should be fine at 2 and 8 BP, respectively.

German builds are:
One pilot for Italy.

For Japan all of the free CVP plus the following:

Any surviving Dutch ships please intercept with the 115C in the North Sea.

Actually, I don't think they have to flee because of the Commonwealth units in Rotterdam.

I will go ahead and send reinforcement placement instructions shortly.

How should we handle the two missing German CBV?

In our previous games they were simply ignored. They should be available to be built for Germany from the start. However, they are seems to be placed in the wrong pool thus they are not available. This is a bug.

Should we ignore them in this game as well. Or should we try an edit to get them to the right pool (the force pool)? Or is there another option?

Reinforcement Placement:

Germany:

Pilot in JU88 Land Bomber and the armor division - Cologne.
6-3 SS infantry corps and 50 MM AT gun - Saarbrucken.

Italy:

Pilot in Alcione Land Bomber - Palermo
Roma motorized Corps - Genoa.

Japan:

Militia on designated cities.

No lending changes. If Axis win initiative, the Axis will move first but no re-roll.

Use Oil:

USSR:
All units except are reorganized for 1 oil (0,8).

CW:
All units, except 7 ships, are reorganized for 3 oil (3,45).

France:
All units, except 6 ships, are reorganized for 0 oil (0,45).

Germany captured a Dutch CL under construction (10). To what MP is it transferred?

I'm fine with ignoring these two German militia units for the time being. I will reach out to a few people who might know how to fix this.

Transfer the Dutch cruiser to Japan please.

Added the German CBV GARR to production.

Thanks

Italy returned their transport from Bardia to La Spezia. Japan moved three cruisers loaded with land division units loaded into the Bismarck Sea. Their other naval move was to move a task force into the Bay of Bengal two box. This task force contains a loaded transport (marine) with BBs and a carrier.
