How do I destroy the French cruiser in the Baltic please?

If its in the 0-box, that'll happen at RTB. If its in a higher box, it'll simply drop to the next one down.

If you have to destroy it, press backspace to destroy it.

It is only allowed to drop down one box if it has a port it could have returned to.

Fair enough. Looks like it'll be a future diving curiosity fairly soon.

Did you capture Aarhus? Either try to return to that port or try to remain at sea.

Any more instructions on their way?

Coming soon.

Italy save one oil traded from Germany in Milan. (Two traded oil, in total, saved)
Japan change their production so that they produce for all idle resources. And so that already saved oil is saved and not produced for. Japan should have 17 factories producing.

Italian submarines return to La Spezia. One Japanese TRS return to Fukuoka and the other TRS to Osaka.

Italy reorganize all units except the two cruisers and the 5 strength submarine. (1.4 oil)

May I suggest Cologne for the PARA?

Sure, if you don't need it - Cologne it is.

Well, I did have a long post with the CW, US and Chinese end of turn on it but lost it as I hadn't realised I'd been logged out of the server [:(].

I'm not going to go all through the phases again, so here are the bits I remember.

CW ships in West Med stayed at sea. Most others returned to base except for pickets in North Sea and Faeroes.

CW spent 3 oil and US 0 (but left CA disorganised).

China had 5 production, US 11 and CW 13.

China built INF HQ. US: AMPH, TRANS x2, GARR, Pilot. CW: FTR-2, FTR-3, Pilot, CPx2, CA repair, INF.

China placed CAV to Chungking. CW placed FTR and LND to London. CP, CVP and CA to Liverpool. US placed GARR to San Diego. CP and 2 CV's with planes to Norfolk.

CW reduced trade with France to 3 res (1 oil). New deal for China of 1 oil.

Initiative: Axis 4, Allies 9.

The Allies choose to go first.

The globe is bathed in sunshine.

Okay so:

a) Is there intended to be more MWIF shenanigans this evening? If so I can hang around for an hour or two, or
b) If not then, in the words of Elizabeth Bennett, I shall repair to the bedroom - not with Mr Darcy - but with a good WWII book.

Please let me know so that I may make the necessary arrangements [:)]

I'm ready for action!

Or you could move over to the original game and make the Soviet land moves. Looks like lots of fun in the snow even though your forces lacks skis.

USSR claims Bessarabia. How will Germany react? Remember, this is part of the pact why we let you take West Poland... [;)]

Frankly I am less than impressed with this Balkan malarchy and wasn't what I expected when signing the pact. But well, a deal is a deal, and so I must concede this territory to the Soviets.
