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

Here is a save from the reorganization step. I will roll partisans, US entry, and garrison markers later on.

Will Germany place their markers on defence?

Partisans appear in French Indo-China. I place it in Hanoi. This can be changed if so desired.

Axis stay at sea.

Will we do the EoT as in the previous game? Allies do it all, with Axis instructions?

Defence for pact markers is ok.
Allies to process EOT in both games is the way to go with Axis side to provide instructions.

Was a little slow with the EOT, I am use to processing them but not writing everything down like you lads do! Hopefully all ok.
