Thank you for the explanation. Our notepads seem to be different. My notepad doesn't ask for encoding settings, and, barring system commands (chcp), I don't see any way to change the encoding. I took a look at every menu command notepad offers, and none do so.


On mine you get it when you go to 'Open' a file. Looks like below. The only bit I don't remember is the auto-detect option as oppose to something like ANSI being selected as the default but it's been a while since I last tried it so who knows. Possibly something introduced in one of the Windows 10 updates.

Well, whatever they are, they sure cause a lot of carnage if you don't spot them and then save the game file with them still in it. Just spent most of the day putting all the text right.

Taking note of public opinion, another bill for a declaration of war against Japan is put to Congress. It goes though with a 70% majority (3 rolled, 70% chance).

The US moves the obligatory first 2 chits from entry to tension but declines to move any more.

The Commonwealth follows suit with their own declaration immediately afterwards. Anticipating US focus will now be on the Pacific, the diplomatic language between Germany, Italy and the US cools down a bit (on a 2, 3 chits removed from Ja entry pool).

US reserves are called up. Marines report to Long Beach, whilst US army reserves form a motorised corps in Newark. National Guards assemble in Washington and Los Angeles (MILs).

The US aligns Panama (a 2 removes a chit from Ge/It). Panamanian shipping and cavalry are put at the Allies disposal in Panama City.

Land: China
Combined: The Rest.

US Hudsons from Pago Pago begin patrols in The Solomons 3-box.

TRANS at Calcutta loads TERR and sails to Balikpapan. 2 CL's sail from Clacutta to Bengal 4-box.

US sends subs to China Sea 4 and 3 boxes and sub to South China Sea 3-box. TRANS and Dutch Hrbour loads GARR and sails to The Solomons 0-box. 3 CV, BB and 5 CA's relocate from San Diego to Pearl.

Three sea areas available for Combat.

Edit: Turns out only 3 of the CV's moved, so edited above. Can't be bothered to go all the way back to redo from there.

Caught by surprise, the Japanese convoys fall prey to the US submarines. With no losses to the Allies, all 14 surprise points are put to increasing damage. 5 CP's are destroyed.

Finally, West Med. CW initiates with a CL from the 0-box. Hurricanes from Libya fly to the 0-box.

The Axis have an impressive array of aircraft they could commit.

CW moves a TERR to Palembang, where it gets disorganised in the swamp. INF in Sardinia moves to Olbia.

Harrows load the CW PARA and fly from Libya to Malta.

US disembarks GARR to Port Villa, disorganising it in the process.

RAF Buffalo at Tripoli rebases 1 hex NW.

US C-47 rebases from East Coast to Greenland.

No reorgs.

5 points. Even without them, it was still an X.

A Nell heads for the China Sea 4-box

Two carriers, a battleship and two cruisers head for the China Sea from Fukuoka - do the US subs wish to intercept?

There will be a lot of naval moves this turn (and I think its pretty obvious what these seek to do) but in order to make this workable do you want to set up standing instructions for interception or shall we arrange a time for going through these moves?

Those orders made the naval moves easier as there were no TRANS/AMPH that passed through the China Sea and thus no interception possible.

Attempts have been made to restore communications with Siam and China,subs have put to sea and a large naval task force has gathered in the South China Sea.

There are six sea areas where potential combat can happen and I take this from the top:

Sadly its storm everywhere except the East Indian Ocean.

I search there and in the Bismarck Sea only, starting with the Bismarck Sea.

The US can initiate combat in the China Sea with two of the three subs there - do they wish to do so?

Naval Combat:

The Japanese have 1 surprise point which can't be used. They chose a naval air and both the Val and the Kate are used as bombers. The expected result is 2 damaged and 1 aborted.

Which sub does the US want to pick for the next attack?

The Japanese fly a Nell into the 0-box.

The Japanese find the submarines in the 3-box which gives them 5 surprise points (4-usable). This increases the expected outcome to 1 destroyed and 2 aborted. I undo 2 points of AA to get 2 damaged and 3 aborted. Risky but....
