Unfortunately, many units are disorganised so they have to remain where they are.

The CW sent the 14th Motorised Corps into the Bay of Biscay for onward transmission to the Med, General Georges used his reorganisation capability to reorganise three reserve units so they can take up defensive positions next impulse.

I sent the Spitfire back to the UK to allow a third CW land unit in France.

Status: offline 		good stuff. I wrote 'sorry to tell you' that one night just to open the information, I knew you wouldn't mind. it's hard to get used to playing World in Flames; there are tactics for the defense, not just for the offense. in a lot of games, the defense is only about positioning. there is more to it in WiF.

I like how in WiF you see how a 20th century war machine develops a momentum of it's own, and it doesn't just turn on a dime. this is first seen as the German army pivots out of Poland, but is something all Major Powers experience.

I would like to see some screenshots of the US Entry pools and windows, etc. I don't think I have seen them in any AAR so far.

Thanks for alllllll the work you have contributed to this.

Berlin, October 9, 1939

Directive No.6 for the Conduct of the War

1. Should it become evident in the near future that England, and under her influence, France also are not disposed to bring the war to an end, I have decided, without further loss of time, to go on the offensive.

2. Any further delay will not only entail the end of Belgian and perhaps Dutch neutrality, to the advantage of the allies; it will increasingly strengthen the military power of the enemy, reduce the confidence of neutral nations in Germany’s final victory, and make it more difficult to bring Italy into the war on our side as a full ally.

3. I therefore issue the following orders for the further conduct of military operations:

(a) An offensive will be planned on the northern flank of the Western Front, through Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland. This offensive must be launched at the earliest possible moment and in greatest possible strength.
(b) The purpose of this offensive will be to defeat as much as possible of the French Army and of the forces of the allies fighting on their side, and at the same time to win as much territory as possible in Holland, Belgium and Northern France, to serve as a base for the successful prosecution of the air and sea war against England as a wide protective area for the economically vital Ruhr.
(c) The time of the attack will depend upon the readiness for action of the armoured and motorised units involved. These units are to be made ready with all speed. I t will depend also upon the weather conditions obtaining and foreseeable at the time.

4. The Air Force will prevent attacks by the Anglo-French Air Forces on our Army and will give all necessary direct support to its advance. It is also important to prevent the establishment of Anglo-French air bases and the landing of British forces in Belgium and Holland.

5. The Navy will do everything possible, whilst this offensive is in progress, to afford direct or indirect support to the operations of the Army and Air Force.

6. Apart from these preparations for the beginning of the offensive in the West according to plan, the Army and Air Force must be ready, at all times, in increasing strength, to meet an Anglo-French invasion of Belgium, immediately and as far forward as possible on Belgian soil, and to occupy the largest possible area of Holland in the direction of the West coast.

7. These preparations will be camouflaged in such a way that they appear merely to be precautionary measures made necessary by the threatening increase in the strength of the French and English forces on the frontiers between France and Luxembourg and Belgium.

8. I request Commanders in Chief to submit to me their detailed plans based on this directive at the earliest moment and to keep me constantly informed of progress through the High Command of the Armed Forces.

ADOLF HITLER

In China I continue to move land forces toward Mao's troops south of the Yellow River.

End of turn and I get this screen. This is to do with the Nazi-Soviet neutrality pact and I am being asked to choose offensive/defensive markers...er...right. I put the markers into the offensive column - being offensive just sounds like the sort of thing the Nazi's do. EDIT: I also get to draw one for the Soviets and choose defensive but at this stage do not know what this means...

In doing so there is a Tension die roll = 10. I will have to look at what this means, but nothing has changed in the Tension box as a result.

I choose to replace the Bearn with a US Transport so will also need to check that I receive this (not sure when).

These markers increases the garrison value needed to break the pact (if you put them as offensive) or to decrease the breaking of the pact (if you put them as defensive).

So, if Germany has 10 garrison points in units and 4 in offensive markers, he now has 14 as number to get against the 2-1 ratio needed to break the pact.
If he is calculating for defense, he has only 10 garrison points (he hasn't any defensive markers).

Each entry option comes with a tension die roll. If you roll less than that die roll, one of the chits is moved from the entry level to the tension level (if the number is 10 or higher, than always one chit is moved...).
The combination of entry and tension gives the It's War number for the US to roll if he want's to DoW an Axis Major Power.

You can use oil for reorganisation out of resources you control and oil points you have stored at this point.
Oil received in trade first has to be stored if you want to use those for reorganisation (and can't be used to reorg any units this turn).
So Germany can use his saved oil and the 2 controlled oil in your game.

Is the computer not bothering with these because I have got the max resources for my available factories? If yes, can I use them and save three trade oil instead?

The new SS INFantry unit that appears on the 2nd turn is ideal for that purpose, as is the Germans' at-start MTN unit.

Ah right... this is good. I managed to save the two Soviet oil. In doing so, 2 of my Baltic convoys became used!! LOVE IT!! See picture.

Only thing is, I do not know to save the Ploesti oil its giving me some message about not controlling the resource or cannot find a path to a viable factory

Interestingly I have a 0.5 to re-organise units - not sure what needs re-organising given they are not at war - but no doubt will find out.

I tend to forget which one is used for trade received oil...).

The calculation of oil points needed for reorganisation is done without taking into account the units that you will allocate to "stay at sea". The convoy needed to transport the resource from Sardinia would need that amount of oil if you would return it to base (which you shouldn't do...).

I can't work out how to save oil with the CW either - I saved one in Canada but that's all I can do. I am getting tired after a long day at work so will leave the Allies for now.
