Out of (morbid?) curiosity what chits did the US reveal when it picked War Appropriations? Were there any left over?
I thought I knew how to play this game....

In MWIF the chits does not need to be revealed. Just the number of chits needed. And, I think, a chit in EuroAxis pool was not needed. Although that is a guess.

Anyway. I decided to show a picture of how the pool looked at the moment that the option was played.

Two changes in the Allied stuff.

- USA reorganized all their in supply units for one oil because I made a double click, and do not have the energy to go back.
- After several tries the resource from USA got to China, so USA will send a resource to China this turn as well.

I also forgot to mention that two aircraft were lent from USA to China, and one from CW to USSR.
