May/Jun '40
Impulse #9 (Axis)

Japan attacks Yenan.

Edit: I think (after some hesitation) that China would pick assault so I go with that. I hope I was not in error.

Japan liberates Yenan. No US reaction (9).

No reorganization.

Turn ends on a 2 )1-3 to end).

Save from reorganization step.

Do you roll for partisans, or should I? Should i post instructions for the entrie Axis end of turn? If so, Germany place both their markers on offence.

Yes. I think in both games the Axis player has been doing that.

No partisans. Garrison was tested in India.

I await Axis EOT instructions.

Compiling it now. Maybe an hour.

Do you have control on the Japanese - US trade? Seems to be a bug there.

Losses during the turn.

Yea, there is a bug with the US entry for Japanese US trade. I made sure that the Japanese BP reach US. Yet MWIF claims that Japan is at fault. If anything, it is US that is at fault since 1 oil could be delivered but I can not get the program to deliver it. Bah1

I remeber looking at this and figuring out how to do it in testing. I will see what happens.

German production, what is MIKL?

According to Orm it is supposed to be a MECH

I was looking for something that cost 5bp. I think the jap BP issue can be fixed if I set the BP to come from another factory other than then capital. Fingers crossed.

Couldn't avoid the Jap default issue and obviously a bug as the US received the BP. Anyway I have edited the save to remove the 2 x 5 chits I added so even though the lending says Japan is in default technically they paid no penalty. If you didn't know how to edit this I have posted a screenshot.

Bad news for the Axis is they lost the initiative twice and Allies have taken the opportunity to move first.
