Nord 1

I believe Italy joins the war during next Axis impulse. Weather is fine and they have many submarines ready to go.

They should do so. But I am not convinced. Maybe they want some more preparations.

[Orm]

Nord 2:

Regarding the "accidently left on map bomber".

There is the possibility to align Hungary, and use their fighter for Baltic Sea protection. Although it takes one turn for it to arrive.

[Orm]

Nord 2:

I see that there was no increase in resources to Italy. I hope that was an oversight and that the support for Italy is increased.

Italy can, of course, manage with no resources at this point, but will be in no position to challenge CW anywhere. Current Italian production of 2 BPs isn't enough to do anything at all.

I was not sure at what point Italy wanted them. Next turn end aid will start.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Oh it’s not too late. Germany sends 3 res rightaway, is that good?

[Orm]

Italy is greedy, but respects German needs. [:D]

Previously, Italy had lower production multiple so I didn't want resources to Italy because of that. But now that the new year arrived that changed and we are on equal footing.

3 resources is good enough until France has fallen. Or we gained more resources from other places. But please make one of them oil.

Nord 2

I bet Allies wonder what Euro Axis are up to. 2 synth plants already and NAV3... Maybe I should build CV next turn [:D]

[Orm]

[:)]

Nah. Better to keep it generic for now. [:)] Let the invasion of Cuba, or whatever, come as an surprise. [;)][:D]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Nord 2

I don't think there is anything so serious going on that we should reroll. Or has Japan something going on I don't know?

[Orm]

No re-roll.

No need to ask about re-rolls. I think we should only re-roll when there is an emergency. And I am pretty sure that you will know when there is an emergency.

Exception is, of course, if Germany has a nice double move. Italy, or Japan, are not allowed that luxury (at least not in this game). [:)]

[Orm]

Is there some oil troubles?

One could use up one oil from Italy to reorganize the German units. Or, reduce the number of reorganized units so that Germany only use two oil for reorganization this turn. It is likely to be a short, bad weather, turn anyway.

Nord 1:

Italy didn't declare war this impulse. I really thought Italy would join the war this impulse.

Maybe we should reconsider and make a pre-emptive strike? Although I do not like that we have low US entry and that would lower it further.

CW has Ark Royal in Gibraltar. If CW sends fleet to West Med box 4, that should make Italy declare war on Allies. If not, CVP can port trike La Spezia. If we send the fleet, we should send escorts to all sea areas box 0/1 to protect convoys, Italy has 4 submarines ready to go.

I think we should wait a while longer. If you put a fleet in West Med then you put it at risk. The Italian fleet can do real damage on a surprise.

Besides that, if we should DOW Italy, then I think all available carriers should take part in the port strike. Sinking one ship and damaging another isn't enough. In my humble opinion, that is.

[Orm]

But sending escorts to 0+1 box to all sea areas outside the Med that the Italian can reach is a good idea.

CW will do that. I also think that we should let them DoW on us and not risk CVs for that.

[Orm]

It might be time to begin to improve the invasion protection in the Med. Although I do not have a clear memory of the situation in the Med.

Nord1:

The dice giveth, and the dice taketh.

Currently, the dices has been kind to France.

[Orm]

Nord 1:

France must take a land impulse and reorganize both their lines and their units.

USSR plans to continue to build up the forces in Karelia.

Communist China doesn't need to do much. Unless, of course, the Nationalists has some thoughts, or plans, that involve Communist activation.

Do you want to do the entire impulse? I can post suggestions and instructions for my part of our impulse.
