Impulse #11 (Axis)

That was all the success we can handle at sea at this point.

Will Allies try their luck in the China Sea?

As JJ is not online calling attack off, I will order to attack!

Impulse #11 (Axis)

Any Soviet air added to the Allies? The bomber reach the 1-box, and the fighter only the 0-box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you. I planned to roll 1.

[Orm]

No contact in the China Sea. Allies 8, Axis 9.

[Orm]

I feel confident that Axis will begin to roll low now that we move on from the naval searches.

turn ends on a roll of one. (5 or less to end)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

One partisan appears to Poland.

USSR sent 3 oils to CW. The plan was to save them in Iraq and Egypt and use for reorg. I am able to save only one, other 2 seems to go in USSR screen to CW factories but nothing is shown on CW screen and I can't fix it. When you guys do prelim prod, can you check if you can do it. I can always edit more oil and burn it if needed.

[Orm]

I think I got two of the oil to be used for USSR, but did not manage to get to Egypt to be saved. Although I didn't try very hard. Not worth the bother, in my humble opinion.

Please, idle the Soviet oil in error, and edit in the corresponding oil for CW.

Losses for the turn.

Funnily enough, I thought that Italian pilots could survive when their planes where lost. I now see the error in my thinking.

OK. I easily was able to save one oil to Egypt but not two others. As they were not shown in CW table.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japanese instructions say

Coral Sea: SUB in 4-box
Polynesia: SUB in 4-box

There was subs only in box 3.

Instructions also say sub returns to from those sea areas so I guess box 3 subs returns to base. Is there error in instructions regarding box 4 subs or error in my save file?

[Orm]

The error is purely mine. It was a remnant from the previous end of turn that I forgot to delete. Those SUBs are supposed to return to base. My post is edited to remove the offending stay at sea orders.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

All good then. I was just a bit worried.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian instructions use only 20 BPs, one more to use.
