After getting their breakthrough in Turkey, I would have advanced into the mountain hex. Yes, this would have flipped the advancing unit, but that would put you on the right side of the river, and force the Axis to react. If the Allies were lucky enough to get a double move, the whole Turkish army would have to backpedal furiously to avoid being cut off. Even without a double move, the Turkish army would be forced to retreat. A few German units would stabilized the front, but that is a couple of units the Germans would not want to have to use.

Yes, I debated that move but played the chance that the allies would have gotten another impulse, which they did't.

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. End of Turn.

Use Oil. Japan.

[rkr1958]

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. End of Turn.

Use Oil. Germany. Wow, while Japan enough oil plus a decent surplus, Germany is flushed with oil. The axis oil situation at this point in the game is incredible.

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. End of Turn.

Use Oil. Vichy France. Germany may need to up their oil given to Vichy from 1 to 2.

[rkr1958]

Turn 24. Jul/Aug 1943. End of Turn.

Use Oil. Western Allies. It's the Western Allies who are starting to experience oil shortages. In fact, USA production will be less than 100% because of it.
