Preliminary production

I get Italy and Japan correct, but for Germany I get 2 saved oils, 19 res to production, 29 BPs. Germany has 3 idle recourses as there is no path and 3 recourses sent to Italy.

What am I doing wrong?

I think it is the 'old' trade from Germany to Italy that is the issue. Try going to the Italian production and clear the German resources there.

Trade is 3 res to Italy.

Germany has 3 sent and Italy 3 received. To me everything seems OK.

Germany has 3 idle resources (no path) and one lost to ZOC (partisan in France)

I was wrong. It is not on Italy you need to clear things. It is on the German side. The oil needs clearing. It is listed as going to Italy or idle when it should not be (one is even listed as going to production but the default shows another story and it needs clearing as well).

Pic 1) Shows oil as saved in Italy when it should be staying in Germany. (should have taken the picture with the faulty default order showing as well but I pressed clear on it before doing so)
Pic 2) Even oil listed as going to production, or idle, needs clearing.
Pic 3) How it looks after the oil has been cleared but before new save orders.

If you have that as a save I could take that. It seems I'm not in good terms with prod planning.

I think I get it now. I just clicked forward accidentally and need to start again

EDIT: Got it, thanks

That went well. I used CTRL X to copy my text, then cancelled my post to check something, took screenshot from for the picture and lost the text. I cannot get the old version of my txt file back...

Full production for all the allies

In the Pacific mostly only 1 ship in 4 box per sea zone stays.
In Europe escorts stay and fleets in WM and North Sea. Also some ships in Bay of Bengal stay.

RTB
TRS with GAR try to return to India area, will Japanese intercept?

Yes, please.

Of course I have JJ's instructions:

SAS:
US cp Antipode set RTB, Marshalls CA, Coral Sea CA 4, Solomons CA 4, Marianas CA 4, Bismarck BB-Alabama 4, SCS CA 4, E Indian Ocean CA, E Indian Ocean set US cp RTB.

CW Timor CA 4, set E Indian Ocean cp to SAS

On a 5 intercept fails and TRS sails to India

Italian instructions say

Italy (9):
MIL
AT
Repair SUB 5049
Save 1 BP in Milan

That uses only 6 BPs of 9. Do you want to build more or save 3 BPs?

Thank you.

Would it be possible to change it to this?
