Nov/Dec 1941 Beginning of Turn: Trade Agreements: CW and France cancel their resources to USSR, since USSR is now maxed out with the Persian gains. CW continues its resource to China, although they'll have to keep figuring out what to do with the BP if they cant use it. Last turn, if you noticed, the Chinese retrained a pilot which gave them 1 BP, and they were able to build a GARR with the 2 BPs. Initiative: Axis rolls a 3, but Allies only roll a 1. It's Axis choice. The Axis initiative bonus is only +1 and they would like to get it improved to +2, so they decide to let Allies go first again. Sure, the Axis has things they need to do, but it is more valuable to have initiative in the good weather months. Weather: Roll of 3 - FINE everywhere except Arctic (Rain) ALLIED 1st Impulse: Declaration of War: The Allies are seriously considering DOW'ing Argentina, simply to get the Factory for France. Logistically making it happen AND allowing the French to do the conquering seems impossible to do, so for now it will just remain a 'thought' in their heads... Actions: USSR - Land. Will most likely DOW Iraq next impulse once they get to the border. China - Land CW - Naval. They have a few moves they didnt make last turn because they didnt have the opportunity. France - Combined. Their fleet was left at sea in the Bay of Bengal, so they dont need the Naval impulse. They plan on moving another TERR to East Africa and start making a play for the Italian possessions. FYI, Italy has been building alot of Territorials in their conquered countries, which will make cleaning up those countries a bit of a chore. US - combined. Not sure what I am going to do with them, but 5 of their fleet carriers now have air wings so they may start getting offensive with the stretched Japanese Navy. Naval Air: CW moves a FTR over the French Fleet in the Bay of Bengal. Naval Moves: CW: - Queens TRS towards South Africa. Picks up a South African 5-3 INF. - SUBs in Alexandria towards the Pacific. There are no Italian convoys in the Med at all, so its a waste having them there. - TRS from Morocco to South Africa, loads a 3-2 MIL. In total there are 3 ground units in South Africa, likely will bring them all to East Africa, while the bigger units go to Morocco. Lots of choices the CW has to do with all of their transport assets. - Canadian TRS to US East Coast. Loads a US 6-3 INF. - CONVs in Bay of Biscay and Cape St Vincent return to port. With France not sending resources to USSR anymore, no need for them. - Escorts out to convoy protection in Denmark Straits, Faeroes Gap - CV fleet moves back out to Cape St Vincent. Good news, they are reinforced with 2 more CVs who just got air wings. Now a total of 4 carriers: Ark Royal, Illustrious, Furious, and Courageous with 6 CVPs - Asiatic Fleet into Red Sea for possible shore bombardment on Eritrea - TRSs move a Spitfire, Alexander HQ, and 8-5 MECH into Cape St Vincent France: - TRS loaded with TERR moves to Red Sea, will debark into British Somaliland US: - TRSs load a P47 and a 6-4 INF to Cape St Vincent - Hornet and Ranger transfer to Pacific. Will leave Langley and Bearn to assist the CW in Europe Land Moves: -French land the TERR in British Somaliland. Also rail one of the Syrian TERR to Damascus. Oops noticed that the Germans could have taken Syria instead of Transjordan last impulse. Axis should have taken the initiative. Oh well. -US land the 6-4 INF on the coast. -USSR moves forces to Iraqi border
