Hi,

The raw orders for 4/1 follow.

*NE
Produce 8 mech and 1 transport.  Assign the transport to domestic.  Assign 3
mech to food and 2 to industry.

Trade 7 metal, and 2 mech to the SW for 2 cps, 4 food, and 2 fuel.
Trade 1 mech to the MW for 3 food.

Feed everyone except one metal worker.  Spend 3 consumer points.

*MW
A2 Secondary Production
Produce 10 Consumer Points (4 Food, 2 Fuel, 2 Metal, 6 Industry, $6)
Produce 8 Mech Points (4 Metal, 8 Industry)
A3 Mobilization
Create 4 SS Panzer Corps...  no, no, sorry, wrong game ;-)
None
B Trade Round
Spend 1 Fuel for Domestic Trade.  Trade 1 Consumer Point to NE for 1
Mech Point (and 1 Metal on Turn 5, God willing).  Transport Point taken
from MW Reserve and powered by surplus Domestic Trade allocation.  Same
Transport point to transport traded goods between SW and NE this turn,
using any surplus Domestic Trade fuel allowances from those regions.

In addition to the 1 CP I am sending to the NE this turn, I wish to send
him 3 Food, in exchange for his 1 Mech.  All other provisions of the
trade will go on as written.  On Turn 5, I will receive 3 Metal from the
NE.

Note:  Mech allocation - 9 total (8 Production+1 Trade)...4 to Farm, 5
to Industry

*SW
A2: Produce 5CPs and 6 Mech.
Put 2 Mech into Industry and 4 Mech into food

Trade.  This is a bit confusing as I was waiting on a final decision from 
the NE.

One of trade A, B or C will be done.  Check with the NE's orders to see 
which one was selected.  If it doesn't match any one (because they were 
not acceptable to NE) then no trade occurred.

Trade A: SW ships 2 cps + 4 food + 2 fuel to the NE in return for 7 metal 
+ 2 mech.  Trade occurs using the MW's transport point.  NE can submit 
the actual journey but our calculation was there was sufficient fuel left 
in MW, NE and SW's domestic fuel excess to fuel the transport pt.  Put 
the 2 Mech into Food.

Trade B: SW ships 8 food + 2 fuel to the NE in return for 7 metal + 2 
mech.  Trade occurs using MW's transport point as above. Put the 2 Mech 
into Food.

Trade C: SW ships 2 fuel to the NE in return for 2 metal.  Trade occurs 
using MW's transport pt.

*FW
*A2 Secondary Production
Produce 6 Mech points
Deploy 3 Mech in Industry, 3 in Food

*A3 Mobilisation
None

*B Trade Round
Expend Fuel point for Domestic Trade
