ORIGINAL: Zeijlon

CW
Modify (1 oil, minimum) to China

Japan has politically closed the Burma Road. I see no practical way that this oil can be delivered to China. The oil can, of course, be dumped in the Chinese minor ports of Wenchow, or Foochow, but that seems very impractical since a Chinese oil there is more likely to benefit Japan than China. Therefore I remove the CW trade to China. (I can always go back and change if I missed something)

Edit: The French trade to China was also removed.

Both sides rolled 2 for initiative. Allies win ties and therefore the initiative because Axis declines to demand a re-roll.

Not often you see a disorganized HQ at the start of the Turn. Timoshenko had bad luck when the turn abruptly ended and found himself out of oil reach, due to ZOC and enemy hexes.

Two Italian battleships add 5 points in shore bombardment to the attack on Malta.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Will the Polish HQI provide defensive HQ support to the assault on Lodz? Current odds are 54:9 or 6:1. Germany can provide offensive HQ support with von Bock, and has 9 points available for possible ground support (within range of Lodz).
