Status: offline 		I am not happy with these builds, mainly due to the gearing limits. I believe over the last three builds, 2 HQs were built which really eat up the points. I was debating to build an armor or mech instead of the synth oil, but, the gas hogs will need their fuel so it had to be done sometime.

Allied impulse 1.

The Allies win the initiative roll, and choose to go first in order to ensure that the convoy routes are covered. The weather is lousy.

Free France and CW naval.
US and USSR combined.
China land.

Was looking at the German production just now, and it is all screwed up. Somehow all of the non oil resources are being sent to Italy!!

Gonna call it a night and reload at the trade agreement phase to see if that clears it up. If not, I hope its not further back in the game.

Status: offline 		After trying several replays of the Lending Resources phase, I found that the problem lies there.

What happened is that I had a new agreement with Italy sending them 1 BP, 0 non oil and 1 oil.

This caused 20 non oil resources to be sent to Italy.

If I send 1 BP, 1 non oil and 1 oil, it works correctly.

I think the problem lies in having 0 non oil in the trade. I did a bit of reading in the manual and bug reports and did not find anything. It might be there but I missed it. If anyone has any idea if I did something wrong or it is a bug, please let me know. I copied the saves to pass along a bug report if it is a bug.

Now to get the game back on track.

Japan annexes French Indochina, and the US reacts adding one point.

Axis impulse 1.

Naval for everyone.

The weather is not quite as bad as the original sart of the turn. This time the Axis win the initiative.

With the French Navy out of the picture, the Italian navy has less to worry about. In the chaos of the last CW naval move phase, the convoys in the Eastern Med were left unprotected, as their original defenders had engaged in combat. I think there were a few light cruisers in Gibralter, certainly Aden that could have been sent, but again, an oversight. The Italians and Germans will be sending out the subs, while the Italians send some surface units into the East Med, hoping again to draw out the Royal Navy.

The Japanese having just gained Indochina, will send some units there to give the Royal Navy something to think about, hopefully causing the fleet in Aden to think twice about sending to much into the Med. The Kriegsmarine may sortie some surface raiders to further give the Italians some relief, and maybe get some more troops into Libya.

I can't see why you shouldn't be able to enter '0' or leave a field blank when setting up lending.

Looks like a bug to me.

Status: offline 		I sent in a report on the possible bug.

In my previous attempts at this game, the Japanese navy never got past transport duty. The nature of this turn with the German and Italian opportunity, has given me a reason to start seriously thinking about what to do with the IJN, instead of piling them all into Tokyo Bay.

The IJN has sent 5 of the slower BBs, 4 or 5 CA and 4 or 5 CL into the South China Sea to give the Royal Navy something to think about, along with a sub to the East Indian Ocean to make their convoys nervous. They will end up in Saigon once they get a land unit there, in case partisans appear.

Also a nice big 8-3 INF has landed in Canton, to help clear the way to the coast and drive toward Hanoi. Yamamoto will lead that drive, while Umezu keeps order near Changsa.

After taking a look at the force pool, I was a bit dismayed as to how few infantry and HQ units remain. The coming build phases are going to be interesting.

Here is the situation in South China. The Chinese will have somethiing to think about now that their back door is open.

Status: offline 		The German-Italian naval operation.

All subs have put to sea, with the exception a one Italian sub which will react to the Royal Navy, and one uboat that remained in the Bay of Biscay. Two Italian CA and two CL go to the Eastern Med to draw out the Royal Navy and hope to find the convoys. One uboat did not have the range and sits in the Faroes.

The Kriegsmarine will wait to see what the RN does. They at least pose a threat sitting in port.

It was tempting to send one of the unoats to the East Coast and the Kriegsmarine into the North Atlantic, but I thought it would be stretching things a bit too far at the moment.

Free France and CW naval.

Free France Needs to connect their resource in New Caledonia, and the RN must protect its convoy lifeline.

Another lesson learned is don't base ships in Scapa unless it is in supply. I thought that such a major base would be in supply.

Status: offline 		So I decided to take a look at the last time I played MWIF, and cannot believe it has been 2 years. Lots of things have been going on in the meantime. Mainly a move halfway across the country!!

Before I decide to continue with this AAR is...

How much has changed with the updates that would affect gameplay? Would I be better off starting fresh to learn what is new and changed, plus what I have forgotten about how the game plays?

Your input is welcome.

THank you
