Picture from May/Jun '40 - End of Turn

I think you'll need to carry on through the US Chit and pact chit phases.

Please put the US chit into the Japan pool and I think Mayhemizer will want the USSR chit on defence.

If you can send me the file at Production and everyone can send me their instructions, I'll go through the end of turn routine.

I can do that but I think it is better if you recreate the partisan step. The die rolls needed should arrive with email. That way you can ponder on eventual US entry actions. And I do not need to see that form. I mailed a save from the HQ reorganization step.

Japan just needs information if any US entry actions affect them.

File arrived, so I've recreated the partisans.

Where to Germany wish to place their pact chits?

You can put the German markers on defence.

No US Entry actions are taken.

Yes you can, without having to go back to the stay at sea phase, but it requires making some minor edits to the game file.

We just need to click those CPs sentry in stay at sea phase.

I didn't think it gave the choice then, but I may be wrong.

Anyway, assuming that we can do something about it, here are the German end of turn orders:

Germany

3 x save oil - 2 x Warsaw and 1 x Berlin
2 x oil to Italy, 3 resources to Italy (no change)
11 Build Points

Return to Base

He-115c to La Spezia

Oil Expenditure

Do not use Berlin oil - Reorganise all (for 3.4) except for:
Two old battleships, and 3 x convoy (should be enough for 1 convoy .1 to be organised.

This means I should have 4 oil saved – all in Berlin

Production

1 x FTR (2)
1 x LND (3)
2 x PIL (4)

Reinforcement

1 x Bf109-E7 (Cologne)
1 x Bf109-F1 (Aachen)
1 x Stuka (Dusseldorf)
1 x He-115c (Kiel)
1 x HS-123 (Saarbrucken)

Bismarck (Kiel)

I'm missing orders for 2 BP's. I make it 9 BP's for the aircraft and pilots but you say you have 11. Am I missing something?

Sorry about that - can you add two submarines please (2nd cycle).

Hmmm. [&:]

I make it that Germany has 13 BPs after saving three oil.

Indeed. Those CPs that are not at sentry can be clicked on so they stay at sea. You can check their status to see if they stay at sea or return to base.

I concur. Warspite1, you have another 2 BP's to play with.

Looks like I must have saved 5 oil??

If its not too much trouble can you ignore all this and I will revise my EoT?

No worries.
