I was hoping for a high roll in Romania to kill lots of BPs, but you can't everything...

I assume there will be no new impulse for the Allies so USSR occupy swamp hex to be in good position for the next turn.

Allies roll 2 in Lvov.

Axis lose a unit, I assume it's INF. Lvov survived this turn. I'm so happy this didn't happen on impulse 1.

Attack vs pocket is automatic as is invasion in Siam

Finally Cagliari falls, it only costed 10 planes, few ships and Malta

How much will Sicily cost?

Continues tomorrow

Rebase

FF fighter in France by one hex
US fighter in Sardinia by one hex
US fighter from NEI to invasion hex in Siam

Reorg
CW fighter in France
USSR fighter and ART in Romania

Turn ends on a 5, I roll partisans later tonight

Destroyed pool in S/O 1944

We were hoping more results with 2 O-chits

No partisans, file is about to leave

Back home after another stay at the hospital. Have an infection in the abdomen that I got after the surgery a couple of weeks ago. Still a bit weak, and have negative side-effects of the antibiotics I am taking. I do however have the energy to play some MWIF. So I hope to get our end of turn done soon.

And we had hoped to not see the result of them at all. You getting a final impulse with fine weather was more unlikely than the turn ending or if not then bad weather was a real possibility.

But it cannot go that bad that Allies also win initiative? I just checked, is it really 30% for fine weather in North Temperate N/D? I was getting ready to fight in snow.

Axis goes first if we win the initiative. Re-roll if needed.

With reservation for my errors, of course.

That was a bit exhausting.

Orm, can you please go check my bug report in Tech support? I want to be sure before I continue.

Yes. Any ships in Singapore are out of oil reach.

If I had seen that they could not be re-organized in Singapore, then they would have stayed in the Bay of Bengal. Is it to late for them to stay at sea?

Only subs were at sea during the invasion. I could edit them back there (they were in box 4, so I put them to box 3?) I guess I can also go back, I have done this three times already (error in Allied planning and just in case because of oil problem).

Without Singapore ships Japanese need to use 2,3 oil to reorg all. Are you going to use 2 oils or leave some ships disorganized to save oil?

No. Leave the ships in Singapore (disorganized).

Then use two oil to reorganize all.

Thank you. I am sorry for the extra trouble.

Editing is easy, I can put subs to box 3.
