Jul/Aug '42
Impulse #9 (Allies)

Turn ends on a roll of two. (1-3 to end)

Jul/Aug '42
EoT

No partisans. Garrison was checked in Korea, and Malaya.

Feeling a bit under the weather so will be a while before I get the EOT instructions to you.

I realize that the Allies have more ships and planes than the Axis, but it's become just too much work to provide complete EOT instructions from start to finish. I propose that we swap the file back and forth for the SAS, RTB, builds, and reinforcements. What do you think?

Okay!

Thanks. I can process the file that you sent me thru Axis SAS, then will send to you.

You are up first for Stay at Sea so please process thru that and send it to me for Axis Stay at Sea.

I am sorry for the delay. I've been knocked out a couple of days by an unwelcome visitor. Probably a bacteria of some sort.

Anyway, I hope to get to the first end of turn stage later this evening.

Sent save at Axis Stay at Sea.

Losses for Jul/Aug '42.

Allied RTB sent

Plenty of ships returning to bases. Some of these are the following:

CW:
TRS + MIL + 2 BB + CA -> Kristiansand
TRS -> Mogadishu
TRS -> London
TRS -> Liverpool

France:
NAV2 -> Gibraltar
SUB -> Malta

USA:
TRS + GARR + CL + MAR Div + BB -> Auckland, NZ
TRS -> Norfolk
SUB -> Midway
SUBs -> Singapore

USSR:
CP -> Rostov

Save sent.

Axis RTB complete. Axis oil usage complete. File sent for Allied oil usage.

I'll send final production numbers for Axis shortly ( hopefully ) to get you to Axis builds.

No breakdowns for Axis.

Send two saved oil to production for Germany. It should push then to 38 BP. Italy and Japan should be at 6 and 11 BP respectively.

Isn't it somewhere around the builds that there is a remaining save bug?

I assume you are talking about oil. Yes, there is. Germany should have 3, Italy and Japan 2 each. If those numbers are incorrect at EOT then I will edit them to the correct levels. The Allies have the same bug but they have so much I don't really care if you keep track of it or not.

No, I wasn't thinking of oil. I have a vague memory of pilots not being added correctly at when saved, and reloaded, during production. And I think I had an issue with pilots during reinforcements as well.

Anyway. Just wanting things to proceed smoothly.

You are right that there seems to be oil issues. The Persian oil used by USSR is listed in the German production summary as well.

Any experience how this works? Proceed and it will be ok?

I have not experienced any pilot bugs as you mentioned during EOT swapping of files. As far as the oil being listed under Germany..I have no idea. I hope it's just a meaningless bug with no impact. I would continue and let's hope for the best there.
