JA 40 Allied RTB

Will you post EoT instructions for Allies?

Previously we have had the second player doing the RTB step do the remainder of the EoT.

Although, having a specific player do it all the time works as well.

Well it's taken quite a while for Allies to actually win the initiative so haven't given it a thought. It's bed time for me and it would take some time so if whoever has been sending the instructions in advance can keep doing it for this turn if they wish. Otherwise I won't get to until late tomorrow.

Losses for the turn.

The game did not expend the saved oil in Canton that was used for production and will need to be edited to 1 saved oil. Known bug when using saved oil for production. Japan did get the production benefit.

Please check everything ok, out for the day.
