Without pretending to be exhaustive,this AAR will try to show the decisions and mistakes I have done during an ongoing game. By the way, my language is not english so be aware of my poor use of it.

The Strategic phase didn´t go well for the axis (no BP) in three attacks (2 against UK and one against China)

This is the screen of the first land combat, in jul40 , in China after a successful ground strike with 2 artillery units.

The first mistake I did during axis deployment was in Ethiopia, where the italian supply unit was deployed in the border in order to run towards Libya , when the allies deployed they got the territorial of Sudan, that was going to trigger some odd events...the first was the capture of the supply unit followed by a risky attack of axis forces to recover it. Axis got it but after that the french division in French Somaliland walked easily into Addis Ababa without firing a shot. So the supply unit costed all Ethiopia. Meanwhile the germans assaulted Malta barely defended ( only the notional unit).

The third impuse was outstanding success for the axis: one hurricane shot down and 2BP over London and in China Chunking lost 2BP also. No screens of this impulse but here is the file .

The rest of the turn was a matter of advances in China( north and south), strategic bombing misssions against UK (Glasgow lost 2BP and Newcastle lost one BP) and some movements in the eastern mediterranean that cost the italians their first naval loss, a transport, in a surface naval battle due to a good search roll ( 1 vs 10), during that battle the british lost their first battleship (Warspite). Sorry the only screen we did is this one that shows the first unescorted bombing intercepted of the war.

The turn of september brought some naval battles, the first was a successful submarine campaign by the italians around Cape St Vincent, where the battleship Malaya avoided a Destroyed result ( 3 surprise points were spent by the italians) during submarine combat, another was when italian submarines in patrol did a good job against allied submarines in western mediterranean (see the screenshot) .

British mechanized troops liberated Italian Somaliland , only Eritrea remained yet in axis hands. The allies also reacted to the axis movements around Greece sending 4 battle cruisers to eastern Mediterranean zone, but they where detected and smashed by a the airpower that the axis had gathered there to cover the likely invasion of Greece ( two german division and one italian were being carried by the italian fleet).

Thank you for posting the save. I'll take a look at it later so I can see how all the forces were set up.

I think that bug is now fixed (in the latest release to the testers). But I hadn't thought to check the other campaigns to see if it were fixed there as well. I will do that now that you told me about it.

Edit: No. This bug is not yet fixed. I reported it though.

Meanwhile in UK the german did a good job bombing targets that were out of allied fighter cover (like Glasgow 2BP) or within axis figther´s escort range ( London 3BP). China was bombed aswell by Japan , Chunking 1BP and Kumming 1BP.

The most important event during september 40 was the invasion of Greece , risky but rewarding.
