Meanwhile Japan realizes that it's Ki-27 Nates are out of supply and move from Lake Chaoyang closer to the port of Haichow.

Status: offline 		The problem is that you moved out of supply units. Doing so disorganizes them. (If a unit has a dot on the upper right, they are out of supply.) Even if it wasn't disorganized, an out of supply unit can not attack.

An organized out of supply unit defends normally, but a disorganized out of supply unit defends with a strength of one, unless it is a white print unit, in which case it defends with a strength of three. In the picture above the Japanese 20th Inf and the Osaka MIL are white print. The Seoul MIL is not white print, even though its unit symbol has a white background, its combat values and unit identifiers are black.

The absolutely critical function of headquarters units is to put your units in supply. HQ units have nice combat values, and they can help in a combat, and they can reorganize units, but all of those functions are secondary to keeping your units in supply.

What’s concerning for me is that I remember using the info you just shared when I played Barbarossa. But since I had concentrated on Guadalcanal before going Global, i find that I didn’t remember.

Status: offline 		There is a lot of stuff to remember. That is why you are doing this practice game. I suspect you will never forget this rule again, although I do predict that occasionally you won't notice a unit is out of supply before you move it. (The reason why I make that prediction is that I think it is true of ALL players, certainly including me. That is what the UNDO function is for.)

Status: offline 		German Ju-52's, stationed just north of the Oder river have patiently waited to assist have been sent over to the front lines where their reorg value of 1 can be used to reorganized the XI Mot (7-4) unit that was disorganized in their earlier attack. 109's provide additional security. In the process both of the air units are disorganized. I think that's ok for now as I think that Germany has pretty much achieved air superiority.

For the US Entry Chit system, a value of (10) or higher for an event means one chit is automatically generated.

A value of (12) means one chit for sure, and a 2nd chit on a die roll of 1 or 2.

A (7) means a single chit is generated on a die roll of 1-7.

A (-9) means a chit is lost from a US Entry Pool on a roll of 1-9.



Because I still get confused on US Entry Actions I trust but verify the result. Yes here we go...lets see; ah yes #40. Roll of 6 on a -9. Yep remove a chit.

France – chooses a naval action

USSR and China decline naval air.

England foregoes naval air. France also foregoes naval air. The United States foregoes naval air.

Nationalist China does not perform a ground strike.

No one utilizes rail movement at this time.

USSR makes no land movements

Oh well, it looked good in my mind until I realized that the rivers halved their attack strengths anyway. Or actually it looks like more than half?
