Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. End of Turn. Scrapped (To-Date). Allied.

Script.
1. Just on the general principal of it all I scrap all named ships that are sunk.
2. Note that the named ships lost this turn are still in the destroyed pool but will shortly join the pool of scrapped units.

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. End of Turn. Lend Lease (To-Date).

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. US Entry.

Competitive
1. The US selected no additional options this turn and will not until the necessary entry and tension levels to, "Pass War Appropriations Bill", which will immediately increase their production multiplier from 0.5 to 0.75.
2. If the US could get the necessary level and tension next turn if they get lucky. Though, unless the axis are careless, it's likely to be two turns before they can pass this option.

Allied #9.
1. REDEMPTION in the North Atlantic!

3. RN blockaiding forces in the Bay of Biscay are not able to intercept the aborting German BBs as they return to Brest. Also, these RN forces fail to find the BB Bismarck still at sea there.
