An unfortunate turn of events with the extended turn and weather.

The first China attack will be assault.

Not 100% sure on odds for the 2nd attack until the first is done and it may be a Blitz.

First out is the automatic attack on the TERR in France, and then the other attack in France (no die roller used).

I was just going to ask, and post a save.

The second attack is expected to be at +12,

One unit lost for the Communists, and the other shattered. I think you would select the MIL as destroyed so I continue with that (can go back and change it if so desired).

I can not get the Italian resource SW of Turin to produce in Turin even though it should be able to do so. It is getting blocked by traded resources from Germany that could (and should when ordered to) go to other factories than Turin but they refuse to do so.

This is an old bug that got worse in this version of MWIF.

Anyway. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this?

For now don't worry about it. If I can't get it to work I'll edit a BP to Italy.
