Japan - The Hainan resource needs sending to Canton. Save both DEI oils in Tokyo. Should give 10 BP's.

Due to a Chinese partisan on a resource, this oil configuration only delivers 9 BPs. Should one less oil be saved? Or should Japan change the builds? Or any other variant?

Thought that might happen. Send one of the DEI oils to production, thanks.

I wonder why the program always wants to save the NEI oil in Ominato. It is frustrating. And it forces me to use override. Even in the first production step.

*sigh* [:(]

I am taking a break from end of turn. For some weird reason I used to think end of turn was fun. Don't know what I was thinking. The production system is borked with defaults that no one has ordered and can't be removed, so they must be overwritten all the time. Convoy routes that was changed that the program can't remember even though not even one CP has moved. And then there is the worst, traded resources. It feel like the program is fighting a war with me. I learned how to avoid most of these pitfalls.

And done all that I reach the oil reorganization step and wonders why a oil seems to have disappeared from Germany. Germany had 3 oils in Berlin, used two to reorganize for, and when it came to Italy they wanted to use little oil from Germany, and the program listed Berlin, once, as containing zero oil. first time I've seen a 0 oil listed before I begun reorganization. Hoped that it would return after the step. But it was a forlorn hope.

So now I am talking a walk to calm down.

And hope that I do not break things further by using a end of turn save. Because that has caused errors in my games before.

Rant over.

Tried to complete the EoT, and the fiftytwelfth time seemed to work. Please check all your nations for errors.

Allies end of turn: (note that there can be errors in this since I had to redo things, and might have messed it up either in writing or in action)

USSR place the pact marker in the offensive pool.

France - 9 production points - 9 BPs.
USA - 40 production points - 11 BPs.
USSR - 23 production points - 8 BPs
China - 7 production points - 5 BPs.

Stay at sea:
The following units stay at sea.

CW:
Convoy escorts in 1 and 4 boxes
Almost all CPs
North Sea: BB + CL
East Med: 2 x CA

France:

USA:
All CPs

USSR:

Return to Base:

France:
2 x SUB -> Syria

Use Oil:

USSR:
All units are reorganized for 0 oil (0.45).

CW:
All units are reorganized for 4 oil (4.25).

France:
All units, except 2 x BB + 2 x SUB + 4 x CP, are reorganized for 1 oil (1.00). Edit: Forgot to add that one HQI remains disorganized.

USA:
All units, except 5 x BB, are reorganized for 0 oil (0.4).

China:
No units are reorganized for 0 oil (0.0).

Breakdown: -

Prod plan Final:

Nov/Dec '39
New Turn

Allies win the initiative (Axis 7 +1, Allies 9). At least the first round. Will Axis demand a reroll and have a second go at winning the initiative?

Nov/Dec '39
New Turn - Initiative

Axis wins the initiative after re-roll. (Axis 7, Allies 5)

I assume that Axis will go first. So I will not wait for confirmation, and roll the weather straight away. If they wanted us to go first I will be really happy to go back and change it. Regardless of weather.

N/D 39 Axis 1

No DoW. Japan exerts diplomatic pressure and forces the closure of the Burma Road. The US barely notices (9 rolled).

All three go for land.

Italy flies FTR to West Med 2-box.

Rail Movement:
7-5 MECH to Cologne
6-5 ARM to Cologne
8-6 ARM to 52,35.

Land Movement.

Japanese SNLF force marches to seize Nanning. Again, the US isn't bothered (7 rolled).

In North China, the Japanese start moving towards the partisan.

Edit: For the revised rail move instruction.
