Note that the CW forces in Alexandria are in supply. Probably just a refresh bug that makes them look OOS.

The Italian spearhead in the southwest of France has a significant impact on the Allied production. The fast Italian Corpo d'armata Celere managed to cut the important Spanish-French railway that transported a huge amount of resources to the French factories. This happened so fast that the convoys heading for Spanish ports with resources to France has not yet been redirected to open ports in France.

This is estimated to cost the Allied production a loss of 6 BPs.

[Orm]

Allies end of turn:

USSR place the pact marker in the offensive pool.

US place a marker in the EuroAxis pool.

US selects Resources to Western Allies. No marker were moved. (10 rolled)

Preliminary planning:
CW - 18 production points - 15 BPs.
France - 8 production points - 10 BPs.
USA - 40 production points - 11 BPs.
USSR - 25 production points - 15 BPs
China - 5 production points - 4 BPs.

Prod plan Final:
And the program had made bad changes here so I had to go back and make fixes in the Soviet break down step to fix it because the program didn't allow

any fixes in this step. *sigh*

[Orm]

Axis wins the initiative. Allies does not demand a re-roll (since it was on the 0 row and Axis wins ties). Axis rolled 10, while Allies rolled 6.

Will Axis move first?

[warspite1]

Lol....

[Orm]

Yes...

All the same, it would be nice with an answer so that I can roll the weather.

[warspite1]

I thought I adequately conveyed my answer, but to the extent that it was not clear, yes I would like the opportunity to go first please [;)]

[Orm]

Yes, it was clear. I am just a stickler for formality at times.

[Orm]

The new weather.
