Yes. But should they be there? Were they not already in Singapore when the end of turn began?

They were in Singapore because I played naval combat wrong in Bay of Bengal. Only surface ships were in combat but I didn’t remember the rule and aborted all when combat ended. So subs would have been in Bay of Bengal. I will edit them there.

Instructions said:

Use Oil:

Germany:
- All air reorganized.
- All land units reorganized except YUG HQI
- No ships reorganized.
- 6 oil to remain. One in Belgrade, one in Prague, one in Munich, and three in Berlin (5,4 oil used?).

and

Preliminary planning:
Italy - 9 production points - 14 BPs. Save 1 oil in Milan

***

With German instructions only 4,4 oils are used. I believe this is correct. Germany has 10 oils before oil use, so 6 remains.

Italy does not receive any oil, no oil to save. Is this correct?

Just making sure. Last night progress was gone as CW production was mess again as I entered to final production phase, I need to fix it before that.

You are correct on both counts.

Almost done. I need to consulate JJ

Did we make a decision that do we end at the end of the J/A or play to the end? At least end of Germany and Italy and conquering Japan. Maybe we can stop there, I think we should conquer China too, but then there is not that much to play I think.

I would like to play to the end.

We have played as the game ends at J/A '45. Also, the option for extended play is not in use. So I would argue that the game is decided at that point.

With that said, there is nothing stopping us from continuing past the end date if we so desire. I assume that the extended play option may be changed from the form. I will talk about this with my ally.

I didn’t realize that. Ending J/A 1945 is OK too. We should have played better to end the game in time

Sorry guys I have been a bit busy.

I edited again Königsberg MIL to map. I had trouble with it again, but the easy way was to copy all information from a save file when it was on map.

Minor problem with instructions during reinforcement phase

MIL -> Königsberg
9-4 INF + 7-4 INF -> Königsberg

Either 9-4 or 7-4 INF must go somewhere else, where do you want it?

Place the 7-4 INF in another city as close to the Eastern Front as you can.

I placed it to Berlin, no closer city was available

Allied turn end

CW 35 BPs save 10 oil

I go roll initiative.

If Allies win, we go first. No reroll for Allies.

Allies win first roll (Axis 6, Allies 8)

Now Axis reroll (init at Allies +1)

Axis win with a tie (Axis 3, Allies 2)

Mostly in nice weather, what a pleasant surprise for the Allies.

Plan to begin our impulse tomorrow.

Still has an infection in my body so I've been very tired lately. I had wowed to myself to have completed the first part of our impulse by now. Disappointed that I have not managed to do so. Although fun stuff ahead, and that is something.

I am sorry about the delay.

No worries about the delay. Please rest more and plan the impulse again, I don’t want to see any fun stuff from the Axis

Had planned for a weekend filled with MWIF. Didn't get to play even a few minutes. I hope to get to the game soon.

One thing, or illness, after the other. And medication that made me even worse. Almost no sleep for a week now. Have been retching, or throwing up, every 30 minutes or so for almost a week now.

However, today I kept the first food down, and feel somewhat better. So I hope that a good nights sleep will do the trick, and that I will get back to our game tomorrow. Have had lots of time to ponder on fun things one can try to do,

Get well! I’m getting worried about these plans…

Nothing to worry about at all. Just bored being passive. That is all. Probably a dumb idea anyway.

xxxxx

Feeling better today after my first good nights sleep in a very, very, long time, and ate my first real meal in a long time as well (albeit a small meal). However, the day has been long, and been prodded, and measured, and so on. So I am a bit exhausted. Therefore I begin with the game that is faster (to turn over impulse). Peskpesk, I think, would like to do his part on Friday. Therefore, I begin with our storm game although this one should have priority (waited longer).
