Next step i choose for each eligible Major to make a request and to agree or not:

As CW i ask for the Buffalo, not a good plane but it seem to me a lot of air unit arrive in the Pacific theatre of operation.
As Chinese i ask for a TB3 just to let the Father of the people to have a "bad" bomber less with out having to scrap it.
I hesitate with the french bombers but finally decide not to ask for them.

Next step the other super power : USSR

USSR National Anthem

Once again i have to scrap all this old (or sabotaged by the ennemy of the Labor Mass[:D])
I don't scrap any land unit, having reading others AAr make my feel Red Army will need every men, even the worst, to stand against the facist menace.

As for CP lines setup is wide spread across the map.

Also a corp in Gibraltar, a DIv (ENG) in Malta Some CA/CL in Africa, Asiatic Fleet in Aden
America Fleet in Halifax and a few in Trinidad. Royal navy mostly split between Liverpool, Plymouth ( where you find stronger CV/BB) Gib and Alexandria. 2 SUB in Malta TRS between Liverpool and plymouth (with the liners).
