Axis need to consult further on Lending and Initiative

Out of (morbid?) curiosity what chits did the US reveal when it picked War Appropriations? Were there any left over?

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. PS. Can I PM you and discuss this further?

Axis Lending changes

GER will increase lending to IT by 2 Resources

Axis will move first if Win initiative

Axis will demand Re-Roll if fails to win first Roll

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.

Mar/Apr '41
New turn

Both sides roll 8, and Axis wins the initiative.

And spring arrives fast in Europe, with splendid weather. (7 rolled)

And a picture of the lend lease pool.
