Is there even anywhere the Allies can send aid to the Russians? The south is closed off. No dice in the Pacific and the north is isolated away from the factories that survived.

As always, thanks for putting this together. I really enjoy coming here and seeing the latest.

Two build points per turn can go to Murmansk each turn and in the Summer another 2 can be send to Archangel. That's to say: for as long as Germany decides not to take out those ports and the Allies have the convoys to spare to send those build points over.

Because the notional unit on Melville Island is easier to kill:

Mainland Australia: 1 (standard value) + 1 (Home Country) = 2.
Melville Island: 1 (standard value) + 1 (Home Country) - 1 (Out of supply) = 1.

Next turn, the Japanese Marine will simply walk to Darwin, capturing the port...

It's always easier to get ashore at a island on the coast of a home country as compared to the home country itself, when you are able to cut supply to such an island (which is impossible to do with a hex in a home country).

Status: offline 		It is not advisable for the US to use the “Monroe doctrine” strategy and gobble up all South American nations for the resources in those nations. Every DoW by the Allies on a South American nation makes the US lose a victory point. To attack Argentina (to grab Buenos Aires) is the only exception (since Buenos Aires is the only victory hex in South America which the US can get out of a DoW). This would mean the build up of forces in Brazil. The Brazilians however, are needed in Morocco, since the US hasn't got a large army of their own at the moment. Somehow, the US and the CW needs to divert German and Italian units out of the USSR towards other places and building up an attack force in South America is counterproductive.

France takes a pass action. The US, USSR and the CW take land actions.

Music out of Poland: Tylko we Lwowie (Only In Lwów!).

In Morocco the Allies slowly move northward. However, they lack the necessary airforce to really advance and attack the Axis positions.

Badoglio enters Bandar Shapur. Balbo starts moving towards Ashqabad. It will take a while, but ultimately, the Soviets need to defend the border with Persia too...

The Japanese capture Blagoyeshchensk and Umezu moves further west. Darwin is captured by Japanese marines, after which Yamashita is unloaded at the port there.

Status: offline 		May/June 1942, Allied impulse number 9:

The USSR takes a combined action. The CW and the US take land actions. The French pass.

Soviet submarines enter the Baltic Sea. They search for the Axis merchantmen. The Germans react by sending a NAV to escort the convoys. Allies roll 4, Axis 7. No combat occurs.

In the Black Sea, the Soviet Admiral searches for the enemy fleet. Allies roll 4, Axis roll 4. Due to the weather, no combat occurs.

The Soviets rail another INF out of Siberia to the West. Some minor adjustments are made to the Soviet positions. Eisenhower consolidates his position in Morocco. He needs FTR's to be able to accomplish something in the region. Khartoum gets liberated by the CW. In Australia, some units move to the West. Some aircraft are rebased.

Status: offline 		The Soviet Black Sea fleet decides to stay at sea. This move forces the German and Turkish fleet to stay at sea too. A US cruisers squadron and the CW fleet in the Red Sea stays at sea too.

Listen to: Blues In The Night - Dinah Shore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu6IBXvh2KA

Germany produces 49 build points of which 5 are send to Italy. It saves 11 oil and uses 4 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remain for future use. It builds 3 forts, 2 NAV4, 2 FTR2, 2 pilots, ART, 2 MIL, GAR, ARM, 2 INF.

Italy produces 15 build points and receives 5 from Germany. It saves 2 oil and uses 1 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remain for future use. It repairs the Vittorio Veneto, builds a NAV3, 2 FTR2, 3 pilots, CAV and MIL.

Japan produces 21 build points. Due to the losses of the convoys in the South China Sea, 5 factories are idle. It saves 5 oil and uses 5 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remain for future use. 1 cruiser stays disorganised. It finishes the Shoho and starts a CV. Builds are 4 CP, TER, INF, 2 CVP1, 3 pilots

France produces nothing and receives 2 build points from the US. It did save a build point last turn. No oil is saved and 0 oil is used for reorganisation. 4 oil remains for future use. It builds a pilot and again saves a build point.

The US produces 66 build points and sends 2 to France. It saves 5 oil and uses 5 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remain for future use. The US repairs a CW submarine, the CW cruiser Suffolk, the Spanish cruiser Canarias and the cruiser Raleigh. It starts 1 BB, 2 CV and 3 CVL, 2 ATR, 2 FTR2, 2 LND4, 4 pilots, 2 ARM, PARA, MAR, MTN, CAV.

The CW produces 30 build points and sends 1 to the USSR. It saves 5 oil and uses 3 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remains for future use. It finishes the Victorious, a TRS and an AMPH. Builds are 3 CP, 2 NAV3, 2 pilots, HQ INF and a GAR.

The USSR produces 16 build points. It saves no oil and uses 2 oil for reorganisation. .. oil remain for future use. It builds 2 GAR, 2 MIL, 2 INF, FTR2

Notice that the Allies produce 112 build points and the Axis 85 build points...

East Timor was conquered by Japan. Eritrea was conquered by the CW.

Eritrea and East Timor didn't have a national anthem during the war.
Upper Volta was liberated by the CW and returned to France. Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was liberated by the CW. Now, I run into a nasty bug. The Italian BB's in Sudan are not forced to rebased...

I'm going to recreate this, by making the Allies all pass and have the Italians take a naval action in the first impulse. They make only one move in this impulse, subject to interception. After this, for all remaining impulses in J/A I will reduce the die roll for the turn ending by two.

Interception succeeds (die roll 3). The Italians have to fight through in the zero box and roll a 10. The Allies go for a naval air combat:
