Football season begins today so I will be unavailable for a couple of hours this afternoon.

Feels weird that the season begins so early. The winter school break is just beginning...

In the last second I changed my mind and included the US submarine. Really dumb move.

(Allies roll 6 and Axis 3)

How will Japan proceed?

Is it possible to avoid combat by choosing bomber only? If not, then maximum damage to sub.

The other sea areas are declined and Axis has no opportunity to activate any sea combats.

The British bombing campaign continues despite the weather. This time the target is the U-boat production in Hamburg.

I feel like crying

Turn ends on a 3. I assume the turn ends anyway as, suspecting I would do my usual I have not advanced beyond the HQ Reorganisation phase. If someone can confirm and I can either send the game back to the Axis or advance the impulse and send it back.

Thanks

EDIT: Scrub that - I just did a test game and yes, I ended the turn. Game heading back to all as soon as I have done the partisans and stuff.

Turn indeed ends on a 3. It was a 50% chance of ending.

Allies may as well advance up to the prelim production phase. I suspect the German pact markers will go to offence.

Only for France and China

I'm surprised Malaya didn't get another one - the peninsular is actually sinking under the weight of partisans!

Hmmm. I looked again my email. I only see two rolls for partisans:
"Garrison" with d10
"Pick partisan unit" with d11

First roll should be d100.

Could I, please, get a save from the HQ reorganization step?

I prefer to do the end of turn in one go without saves. If at all possible.

Germany lost 5 BP's because of bombing and 1 BP because of partisans.

I think it is time to form line of fighters to shoot down those annoying bombers...
