Axis will wait to see Allies Stay at sea before posting our Return to base instructions.

[Orm]

My mistake. I didn't think we had anything interesting that could stay at sea. I am sorry for that.

I plan to get to it tomorrow. Swedish time.

[Orm]

Allies end of turn:

Preliminary planning:
CW - 22 production points - 24 BPs.
France - 0 production points - 0 BPs.

Did you want the file back with our RTB done or should we post our instructions so that you keep the file?
Just wary of things going wrong in EoT when the file gets swapped around.

[Orm]

There are some pitfalls during the EOT remaining, and I would prefer to not make any edits to fix them. So as long as it is ok with you to post instructions I would like to do the entire EOT in one go.

With that said, I am willing to do it as you prefer.

Edit: And with that I meant that I do it all again, and that the EOT saves are just for reference.

[Orm]

If you write EOT instructions, do you need any more information from the Allied side?

[toenailthehun]

Don't think so

We just needed to know if there was potential for combat in RTB phase, which looks like there isn't.

Very happy for you to keep the file and do the EoT without being swapped.

Will get the remainder of our instractions back to you as soon as possible

We have tried to advance the file but seem to encounter an oil issue for Axis.

With the file received at Breakdown GER has 9 Oil Saved on Map and is saving 4. When we advance to Reinforcements GER is showing 11 Saved Oil, so missing 2.

JP seems to gain 1 extra during the same stages.

We will post our instructions below and see how Orm goes with a walk thru .....

I still beleive GER should have 13 saved oil as per the EOT M/A 41 with net 0 used during EOT M/J 41

I think I saw this, and know how to correct the missing oil. But its been a while so I need to check it. That is, if there is an issue which I do suspect it is.

[Orm]

Just checking in to see where we are at.

I was thinking that we await Axis reinforcements, Axis trade, and on how Axis will handle the initiative.

Am I right in thinking that?

[toenailthehun]

Axis was not agreement to the next step but we are now

Will post our reinforcements, and other instructions within a few hours

The issue might be that to many oil are ordered to be saved in Berlin (8 is the limit for Berlin). I will order some to other cities.
