Dumb newbie question

<t> <br/>
In the air game, I am creating air directives which create (as I understand it) interdiction values on the map (amongst other things). Those air missions can be affected by the opposing player's air missions. <br/>

If I am the first player in a turn, what opposing air values am I ...

<t> This is good news, but given VAT is a sales tax levied by the UK Government, exactly what change have you made that allows you to circumnavigate that? <br/>

RE: WitPTracker AE Release 1.0.1 Available

I had missing files for intel for turns after the first one. I think it was caused by loading the file into tracker before I had run the replay file. When I ran the replay 001 file first, then the intel files started re-appearing. I assume they are created by the replay process...?
