The CW forgot to reorganise their aircraft... This means mopping up the CW should be straightforward. And so it proves.

That's weird. Why Would a Dutch transport not be able to enter Alexandria or Suez? Had to place it in Bardia....

Netherlands is a minor country aligned to you and so is Egypt. The foreign troop commitments rule therefore applies. This is a major pain but unless Netherlands is completely conquered you have to learn to play with those restrictions for the Dutch transport.

11.11.5 Active major powers
....
• minor country units can’t enter a hex controlled by another minor country aligned with their side unless they
satisfy the foreign troop commitment rules.


18.2 Not co-operating
....
Foreign troop commitments
A major power or minor country unit that ends any step in the home country of a friendly major power it
doesn’t co-operate with is destroyed unless:
• it started the step there; or
• it started the step elsewhere and the unit satisfies the foreign troop commitment limit.
A minor country unit that ends any step in the home country of an aligned minor country on the same side is
destroyed unless:
• it started the step there; or
• it started the step elsewhere and the unit satisfies the foreign troop commitment limit.
....
You satisfy the foreign troop commitment limit if there is at least one HQ from the unit’s home country there
(any Commonwealth HQ will do for Commonwealth units) and the total number of that country’s non-HQ units there
is less than or equal to the total printed reorganization values of the HQs.

The Japanese try a ground strike against a couple of Chinese units in Ichang. The Japanese keep up their 100% record and completely miss the target....

The Japanese have little choice but to pull out of Kweillin as their reinforcements in Canton are disorganised and cannot come to their aid.

The turn ends with the Germans moving troops to the east and some units ordered to western France to take care of the pesky partisan in Bordeaux.

22.4 Optional units

Construction Engineers
You can only use an occupied or conquered red factory, after the first production step that you had an ENG
unit (even disorganized) in that factory hex. [Clarification. This rule also applies to red factories that have been
retaken by their original owner - Jan. 13, 1998.]
Any major port you occupy or conquer is only a minor port until repaired. It is repaired after the first
production step that you had an ENG unit (even disorganized) in that port hex.
[Clarification. A single ENG can repair multiple items in a hex in the same turn (e.g., a major port and a factory) -
Sept. 24, 1997.]

Thank-you. A bizarre rule - but fair enough, another rule I was playing wrong no doubt in the boardgame

The Japanese continue their build-up in China.

While the Germans continue moving their few organised units east.

Otherwise, there is nothing to report.

The Cw turn is equally is uneventful - the Chinese continue to prudently withdraw in the face of growing Japanese strength.

In North Africa, the CW has surrounded the disorganised anti-aircraft unit caught between Homs and Benghazi. The CW can only get one unit to fight, but with odds of 5:1 +11 they go for it...

The Italians choose the assault table to try and maximise losses for the CW, but it does not good - the Italians are toast and the CW's march on Libya continues.

...and this action concludes the turn.

President Roosevelt is getting a tad miffed with the Japanese build up in China.. He orders an embargo on strategic materials to Japan (this reduces Japanese entry to 23 and rises tension to 6.

Roosevelt also agrees to provide resources to the Western Allies.

Right, so the way I get the tension pool up is to choose the entry options? I take it there is no other way of getting the tension pool number up?
