That does sounds very likely and I'll look into fixing it that way. It was some time ago that I installed the extended map and I don't recall the exact process used at the time. Thanks for the reply.

<t> I've picked up AE again after a longish furlough and decided to play Allies vs Japanese AI for a change (having been a Japanese PBEM player mostly prior to this.) Found getting back into the game great fun and the campaign is going as well as can be expected for the Allied player in mid-Dec 41 ...

You had an ample supply of fighters built. We didn't engage in any kind of extended attritional war in the air, fighter versus fighter. Sometimes my heavy bombers were my best sweepers.<br/>
<br/>
The two numbers I'm looking at are fuel and ...

<r> Bear in mind that this was a DBB PDU off when looking at the aircraft production numbers. The upgrade paths preclude some of the options that Japanese players often rely on e.g. maxing out on Tojo production.<br/>

Avidly reading your comments for insight.<br/>

What was your final fighter production like? What were you r&d'ing (fighters).<br/>

What was your final supply, oil and fuel numbers?<br/>

Can't you still try a SCTF attack at Denpasar from Soerabaja? With a small, fast force you'd have a decent chance to get back close to Soerabaja before the daytime air attacks.<br/>
