Regarding the USSR oil, it does make sense to wait until they are at war or close to it.

[NatRapsEno]

You can keep the file for a setup. Please declare war on Portugal by Italy only please. Send the file after the Portugese setup. Thank you.

[NatRapsEno]

Or you can just tell me the setup you want, whatever is easiest.

USA received a chit for declaration of war against Portugal. The Axis are alarmed at the hawks in the American government that have apparently taken hold of the country. The USA is careening toward the war at alarming speed!

Naval action for Germany, lands for Italy and Japan.

The Kriegsmarine has gone for an all out assault on British shipping, as well as supporting a land invastion of Portugal by the Italians. Save sent for searches.

Axis will search the below areas, starting in the North Atlantic where no support for either side is available.
