No contact in the Western Mediterranean (6-4).
Declining to search in the North Sea for Axis. This can, as always, be changed.

Naval for Italy, land actions for Germany and Japan.
Italy pulls the CP from West Med while adding their subs to the two box there. They move forces into Italian Coast. Do the Allies wish to search?

Allies decline to search.
Germany continues to move units to the Western Front. Japan moves a few units inland but brings the corps next to Ningsia back into the mountains. Germany rebases a fighter and the 110 to Northern Italy.
Turn attached.

No contact in the Italian Coast (4-6).
Next search is the West Med.
Edit: Including the Italian SUB. I hope this is correct, and if not then that can be changed.

Note: The French 3-3 INF NW Turin was moved away from the Italian border to avoid the Italian production bug. It should still be considered to be NW of Turin for game-play purposes.

Thanks for the note about the 3-3 on the Italian/French border.
Germany declares war on the Netherlands. I used the following setup from a recent game from your team:
Netherlands align with CW, and set up as follows:
INF -> Amsterdam
TERR -> Batavia
CP + 3 CA + SUB -> Rotterdam
4 CP + TRS -> Padang, Sumatra
5 CP -> Paramaribo, Dutch Guyana
No USA Entry chit added for the declaration. If you want to change the setup then we will bring it back to this step.
