Axis goes first if we win the initiative.

Axis win initiative. Fine weather everywhere.

During Allied SAS, I sent a few convoys that the game said weren't being used to port. Well, they were being used and it cost the Commonwealth a BP and Free France one as well. I edited these missing BP to London (Commonwealth did not use one during builds) and Leopoldville and will use them in the near future.

Germany and Italy declare war on USSR. No other declarations of war.
Could you roll US entry and send us a new save with the reserves placed.

Will do

Here ya go.

New file with the following units reorganized for Germany:

3 Cruisers, 115C, and the He 112. The sub had a strange value, probably because it's OOS, so I didn't want to try and change that number.

Sorry for the mistake.

Splendid. Thank you.

It might been a bug that allowed the SUB to be reorganized anyway. Didn't have the energy to examine the rules back then...

Anyway. Mistakes happen. It is how one handles mistakes that matters. Mostly anyway.

Losses for the previous turn - The Phoney War, Part Two.

Impulse #1 (Axis)

Germany aligns Hungary. No US reaction (9).

Land: Germany, Japan
Combined: Italy
Naval:

Italy port strikes Leningrad.

8 rolled for the surprise, giving Italy 11 points. Enough to save three points to select all targets.

One sunk battleship, and a damaged cruiser.
