The US entry effects from having the extra 2 chit earlier than they should are rather difficult to undo and what's done is done. We could fix the next entry roll that called for a chit, so 1 less was added and leave Madagascar as it is but I'm not sure how many more opportunities for that will present themselves.

The alternative is to remember to take 2 off Jap and 1 off Ge/It entry values when it comes to selecting US Entry options and DoW calculations.

On the other hand, the game is now in the position where Japan can align it at the next DoW step anyway. If the hex control can be changed, the Axis paid the cost of the alignment (even if it was illegal), so may as well have the benefit.

Since the Allies have operated on the principal Madagascar was Japanese controlled, option 3 would seem the best. Otherwise, option two. I'd go with trying to change the hex ownership.

I leave it to you to decide on a practical route to proceed.


It's only going to be an issue if Japan decides to start using the island or the Allies want to invade to take it back. We may as well leave things as the are for now.

Indeed. But does this mean we go with the option of lowering US Entry or with playing as if Madagascar was Japanese?

Current air combat is +3/-3. Will Axis spend any of their 6 surprise points here?

Will Italy fight this one out until the end?
