Will be a quick impulse.

Naval actions for Italy and Germany. Combined for Japan.

Germany challenges the North Sea and moves their transport from Memel to Kiel. Italy makes all their naval moves in the Italian Coast. Allies will be able to initiate there.

First North Sea.

Miss in North Sea.

Do Allies wish to search Italian Coast?

No search, thank you.

Turn Ends.

No Partisans.

Placed USSR pact marker on offense. Germany's on offense.

Turn sent for US Entry.

Axis SAS - All ships/subs move down to 3 box in North Sea. All Ships/subs in Italian Coast Move down a box. Those in 0 to La Spezia. Land loaded Japanese transport in Hiachow with marine division. Other Japanese transports to Tokyo.

Further Instructions for oil and builds will follow shortly.

Jan/Feb '40
End of Turn

US place one entry marker in the Japanese pool, and then selects to open resources to China. No tension added (10 rolled)

Only use .45 oil for each power. That should be fine for Italy and Germany to get all back. For Japan, leave the amphib without oil.

Production - Push all oil and 5 saved oil to production for Germany. That should max them out and leave them with only 1 saved oil. Push 1 saved oil to production for Italy. Push 3 saved oil to production for Japan.

Axis Builds

Germany - Scrap the HS 123 Land 2 for Germany and the 4-4-7 sub first. 1 fighter 2, 1 land 2, 2 pilots, 1 Armor, 2 new German subs, Militia.

Italy - 2 Amphib, 1 fighter 2.

Japan - Orange Aircraft carrier, pilot, Artillery, Infantry, Militia, 2 carrier planes.

Modify lending from Germany to Italy. Drop resources sent to 3. Place reinforcements in logical places. If Axis win initiative, the Allies will move first.

Return the He 111B to reserve pool for Germany.

Put pilots in the Heija and Stuka for Germany. For Italy put the pilot in the Falco and place in Rome. For J-apan in the arriving Land 3.

Is it the intention to use the Sardinian resource for production, and thus stay with the CP in the Italian coast?

yes

CP will always stay unless I specifically mention them for return.

Yes, I thought so. It just wanted a confirmation since I could get another idle resource to production, and thus use one saved oil less.

Later noticed that the same could be done by Japan.

Japan has one more unit that needs to stay disorganized. Or disorganize the LND3 instead of the AMPH.

leave the G3M2 disorganized. Should be able to reorg everything else.************
