Land actions for Japan and Italy. Combined for Germany.

No naval air.

Germany moved their subs from Genoa into CSV.

Land Moves: Japan pulled back slightly in Northern China. Shuffled units around in Siam and Manchuria.

Italy shuffled units around in Egypt and Western France. Germany took Amman and the ports in Palastine. Moved units out of Konigsberg and took some hexes in Southern Palastine and Jordan.

Air Rebase: Germany moved a fighter into Southern Palastine and Italy a naval bomber there as well. Moved two bombers from Sicily to Greece. Condor to hex west of Brest. Japan rebase two navs into Korean islands in the China Sea.

US placed one marker vs Japan, and one vs Germany.

Us then played Oil Embargo, modified the tension with +1 making it one automatic move to the tension pool. Followed by playing North Atlantic Escorts and this caused another marker to be moved into the tension pool (5).

Losses for the turn.

CW feel quite pleased that the losses were so low. I was worried.

Although, I suspect, that the Palestinians are not equally pleased.

Reinforcements:

For Germany, put pilots in the Stuka, 115C, and Bulgarian bomber. Place in Saarbrucken, Bremen, and Sofia, respectively. Place the Armor and Mech in Konigsberg. Place the Fifth Air Division in Vienna. The submarine in Kiel.

For Italy, place all naval units in La Spezia. AA gun in Genoa.

For Japan, place pilots in the two light blue B5N1, the green A6M5, the two orange A6M3, and the two orange B5N1 with a range of 4. All reinforcements in Tokyo. Place as many of the new CVP on the carriers available as you can, but don't worry about which carriers have what. I will shuffle the planes on those carriers during the first Axis rebase of next turn.

Place the arriving Vichy French BB in Marseilles. The territorials in their respective capitals.

No change in lending. If the Axis win the initiative, the Axis will move first but no reroll.

USSR is still owed at least one oil. Might be another after this EOT. We will get it added during this next turn.

Two oil it is. Might be better to wait to edit them in as long as USSR is neutral? Seems likely that the Iraqi oil will be in error at least until USSR goes to war.
