Nov/Dec '39
Impulse #9 (Axis)

To save time going to post only non obvious land, air and sea moves going forward.

Combined for all.

Strategic bombing
Marseilles - hit
Southampton - miss

Italy moves Supply into South Sudan and DIV into Mombassa.

German AMPH + TRS reorg NAV2.

Turn ends on 2

Will post EOT when USE is known after SAS.

No partisans.

Placed one pact marker for Germany in each pool. USSR went on offence.

US placed one marker vs Japan, and played Resorces to China (7).

BTW. if possible, I would prefer to get an end of turn save from the reorganization step instead. those saves seems less buggy to me.

Losses for the turn.

All good with the save transfer at EOT.

I'll post a screenshot later however the Japanese CVP could only rebase to the island next to Sasebo at a range of 16 despite having a range of 18. Is there a reason for this as I would like it it Sasebo?

I am sorry. I was unclear. I meant for the future, as I sometimes has trouble loading the saves when the game wates on a die-roll.

The pilots wanted a island vacation, and read Goto Retto and thought that a splendid idea.

No real idea why that it couldn't rebase to Sasebo instead. Shouldn't fly over any Chinese controlled hexes on that route.

Ok if I edit to Sasebo, clearly got another 2 range left and can make 18 everywhere but Japan?
