Turn ends on a 2 (2 or less needed to end)

Jan/Feb '40
End of turn

No Partisans

I notice that there were a trade error last end of turn. Germany shouldn't trade 1 BP to Italy this turn. I will check with Germany if this is an issue or if we can continue as is.

The destroyed pool for this turn tells an interesting tale. Nothing of consequence happened. [:D]
