The Japanese tanks achieve a breakthrough but most of the overrun Chinese ground troops manage to save themselves by fleeing to the nearby mountains.

Air Rebase - Germany flies the FW 190 next to Guderian in Southwest France. The Finnish Fokker flies next to Mannerheim in Norway. The newly arrived 109 takes up station in Eastern France to cover factory hexes from free strat bombing.

Italy - Flies the Gabby from Stavangar to Southwest France.

Japan - Flies the B5N1 from Sasebo into Northern China.

No Reorganization. Impulse sent.

I added 2 oil to London. Should it be 4? Also, Should Kunming have 3 or 4 now?

[Orm]

I was a bit rushed when I did the last part of the end of turn.

London should have had 4 extra oil. 5 total.
Kunming should have 4.

And a new oil error emerged might have occurred. Or not. When was it Vichy France was dissolved? The Free French Iraqi oil was not delivered. But that might be according to rules if Vichy was dissolved in May.

[NatRapsEno]

OK, London is owed 2 and Kunming 4. If you can get an oil into Kunming somehow then we can edit the rest.

Germany collapsed Vichy in Mar/April turn.

[Orm]

Germany collapsed Vichy in Mar/April turn.

That was what I thought. Then Free France is owed one oil in Damascus.

Not that easy getting an oil to Kunming. This because China has refused to accept any 'normal' resource traded to Kunming to be used for production. I wonder how the program reacts now that CW stopped trading oil to China, and just one resource is traded.

[NatRapsEno]

Ok. I will get London and Damascus fixed up the next impulse I get. If possible, and only if it doesn't screw up your long term strategy, lend an oil to China from UK ( or possibly even America ). I know MajorBall well and he's the best at getting things like this fixed. During EOT I'm sure if I can get that oil in there that he can. Otherwise, we will have to manually reorganize Chinese units later in the game to simulate the stored oil. Painful but manageable.

[Orm]

The Chinese trade has already been an oil from Canada. Can not get this version to accept the Burmese oil. Argh. Might test to trade two oil to China. Or something.

[Courtenay]

Interesting. I have been sending China the Burmese oil, and oil stored in Mandalay, with no problem.

My procedure: Switch major power to CW. Go to wherever is sending oil. Go to the "Default" screen for that resource. Clear defaults for that screen .Then click on the top line of the little window. This will bring up a window asking where that resource is being traded. Pick "None". Go to Burmese oil, click clear defaults, and then click on top line and pick "China". Now recompute. Switch major power to China. The resources should be there. Click on them and use save or produce to send them where you want. Recompute again.

Has been working fine for me.

[Orm]

Thank you, Courtenay.

I've been doing it previously, but somehow my way of doing it has ceased to work in the version we use. Your descrption has one element in it that I have not tried so I will try that. It might, however, be a while before I try it. I'll post my findings when I do try it. Thank you.

[Orm]

As CW I feel that my forces are stretched to thin. Not sure why I do feel that.
