I see an error, looks like the IT FTR2 is still in Genua. Could you plz remove it, so the Pilot goes the reserv pool and post a new save?

Sorry about that, my bad. New save and took the liberty to move the NEI partisan to Balikpapan and reduced the save oil in Ottawa from 2 to 1.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

You are good it's me that was missing something. So use to CW receiving Palembang oil by default I just assumed if one of the other oil was blocked Japan would get 1 short.

No declarations of war.

Land: Germany, Japan
Combined: Italy
Naval:

No Port Strikes.

Naval Air:
Germany:
FTR2 -> It.C 2-box

Naval Movement:
Italy:
2 SUB -> CSV 3-box
SUB -> Gulf of Guinea 0-box

Italy will search in both sea areas, and begin searching in CSV. Add the CW LND3 to the sea area?

Later on, Germany will strategically bomb Metz with one LND3. Will France intercept? Germany has one FTR2 available.

CSV fly air to 0 box. No intercept SB Metz.

Italy finds in CSV (4-7), and spend points to make it a submarine combat. Remaining points are saved to increase the damage on CPs.

One Italian SUB damaged, and both aborted.

Two Allied CPs sunk, and three aborted. I assume that the French CP is destroyed. And guess that CW would abort their CPs to Liverpool, and continue onwards. Can go back if I was in error.

No contact in Gulf of Guinea (4-2).

The bomb raid is a miss.

There will be a break here as I await orders from Japan.

All good. Ill remember to give that info at the time. I can edit if I wanted them somewhere else.

No ground strikes.

Rail Movement:
Japan:
TERR -> Taiyuan
TERR -> Kaifeng

Land Movement:

Italy:
TERR move back into Ethiopia
Supply continue its desert tour - now in Libya.

Germany:
Minor movement on the west front.

Japan:
AG Terauchi advance slowly with the rear elements, while most of the outflanking forces holds.
AG Umezu holds.
AG Yamamoto concentrate on Kweilin.

Air Transport:
Italy transfer one German INF DIv to Olbia.

Japan attacks Kweilin. 6 points are added in ground support (FTR2 + 2 NAV2).

I assume that China selects assault.

Kweilin is liberated.

Edit: No objection from USA (10 rolled).
