<t> Just saw this post and must say it is surprising considering the success of your recent air campaign in reducing the Japanese air forces in Rabaul.<br/>
<br/>
I am very open to a discussion on what went well, what went less well and so on about the overall game, of course. It has been a long ...

I would be up for that...would be nice to play the Allied side.

<t> Current fighter pilot training program uses the following settings:<br/>
<br/>
Type "A" groups:<br/>
30% CAP<br/>
70% Training<br/>
Range 0<br/>
1000' Altitude<br/>
Naval Attack<br/>
This trains XP, Air, LowNav and Def...I figure LowNav is going to be useful for kamikazes.<br/>

<t> Another slow day of desperate fortifying and building of aircraft.<br/>

Here are some of the lessons learned from the past 4 years:<br/>

1: Convert every single AK into a PB that you can. Early war they provide badly needed ASW escort. Mid to late war they make excellent fast ...

do I understand correctly that in addition to the territory you still hold in '45 you still have afloat every single Japanese CV and BB except one CVE? That's extraordinary![&o]

This is accurate, but we really ...

As for the Russians, hard for me to believe that you could achieve much by activating them early..perhaps big air raids and naval bombardments a day or two early.<br/>
<br/>
Shouldn't you also be getting ready for Kamikazes? Is that ...

<t> Current strategic situation is as follows:<br/>
<br/>
China - Japanese held<br/>
Burma - Japanese held<br/>
SEA - Japanese held<br/>
DEI - Japanese held<br/>
NW Australia - Japanese held<br/>
New Guinea - Allies hold Port Moresby, Buna, Milne Bay. All else Japanese held.<br/>

So I have been playing this match against wneumann for a good four years of real time now and we have reached February, 1945 in game.

I will use this space to highlight and discuss the final year of the war.

Oil comes out fine for me...fuel not so much.

Resources don't matter, there is plenty coming in from elsewhere.

How on earth did you manage to get ~700 IJN pilots into TRACOM in the first place. Inquiring minds want to know.[&:]<br/>
<br/>
I did a game out ...

<t> Not sure about the bug theory...XP has been steadily improving as I have been putting guys into TRACOM (though it really took off about January '44 when TRACOM reached ~500 men). It has not been 35 since...I don't know, maybe mid '42 or so.<br/>
<br/>
Also note how the Army pilots have lower ...

<r> Sure...here you go. Note this is a stock scenario (the start 12/8/41 one) latest version of the game:<br/>

AA - Early on I send two decent AA units to Ledo and then have them march, slowly, SE to get into China to add some AA support. The big AA Bde that comes into Colombo is bought out and sent to Ledo to protect my C-47s.
