Same fighter can fly to Italian Coast where actions begins right after East Med. But I guess fighter has no reason to go to Italian Coast?

The Italian FTR2 go to the 0-box in the East Med. Thank you.

Allied 7, Axis 5. No combat.

Italian Coast: Allied 1, Axis 8.

CP sinks.

I guess both sides stay.

Yes.

Allied 1, Axis 6.

Three Allied ships find German plane that was protecting CP. Ships sail straight to plane saving their 6 points.

Does Germany choose naval air combat?

No

Both roll 5, combat is over.

Rail move
USSR AA gun 60 hexes east.


Land move
Mao to Sian, Sian MIL to mountains. Minor USSR moves in Persia and Romanian border.

Minor moves for NatChi units.

CW TERR in Palestine takes Haifa back to CW and then goes to Jerusalem. ARM HQ one hex west in Egypt. MOT moves in UK.

France moves TERR to Damascus.


No rebase or reorg.


Turn ends on a 5.

I have to playing end from today. I send save file to others, you can roll partisans or I can do it tomorrow.

USSR places marker on offense.

One partisan appeared in Bombay, India.

Sep/Oct '39
End of Turn

Looking at the destroyed units, one might think that nothing much happened except that the Polish Army was somewhat reduced in strength.

One partisan appeared in Bombay, India.

That's a real pain to get rid of as it is too far from other cities for attacking units to be in supply. Will either need the commitment of an HQ or to creep the attackers along the coast, while keeping the sea supply chain going to the Arabian Sea.

The loss picture doesn't really tell the story does it? Losing CV + CVP though is significant for the RN.

This has been I think a great opening turn for Axis.

German markers on defense?

I move on with that and will redo if needed.

US marker on Japan pool.

US chooses entry option resources to China and one marker is moved to tension pool.

End of Turn

Axis end of turn, part one:

Germany place both pact markers in the defensive pool.

Preliminary planning:
Germany - Save 4 oil. 3 oil in Prague, and 1 in Berlin - 15 BPs
Italy - Save 1 oil in Milan - 2 BPs

Japan

Allies goes first if we win the initiative. No re-roll.

Japan - Save 2 oil in Tokyo - 10 BPs - Japan may need changing the resource destination to free up CPs.

Everything else is good, but Hainan resource does not want to go to Canton. Both are idle at the moment and there is unused CP on South China Sea...

Edit: Now I got it. It was painful. I had to send Hainan resource to Japan. Then I was able to change location to Canton. It took quite a long to do this. Let's see how CW is doing.

And with the program routing like this, I just want to face slap myself.

I think that I had no issue with it. I'll take a look at it now. And I wonder if loading a save to the production step makes any difference. I find it sad that I even have to wonder...

Mine was just like yours. Manchurian resource is going to Canton. When routed to Japan, everything should be good. But there was some mystery problem.

I had same thing with CW. I had to route resource from Canada to some random (used) factory in UK before I was able to send it to idle factory in UK.
