Fletcher, did you re-directed your research facilityes ? You have a lot small R'D plants 1-2 that research some crap wich will arrive in late 45. You can increase them to 8-16 plants that will research you such important planes as Frank, Sen Baku and A6M5, D4Y1 Judy.... check such cities as Hamamatsu and Tsu.

Great AAR Fletcher - enjoying it much. I just finished (er. conceeded) a CHS WitP PBEM game and my worthy opponent has agreed to a rematch with AE. I just purchased and downloaded and am going to school on your AAR as Japan (which I will be playing), especially noting how you use WitP Tracker - great stuff!

Hello Mitchell !

Hello Swenslim, of course !!!.. I must to redirect the research of several models, but I have redirected my R&D from Dec 8th in many factories. My priorities are fighters (Tojo, Frank, Sen Baku, A6M3) and D4Y1 Judy. JFB must to attack in the 6-7 first months of the war, but must to defend about the rest of the war, fighters is a must IMHO.
I will report more in the next turn (Jan 1st 1942).

Hello Swenslim !
Thanks for your advise. I will take it in considerations and I will study tomorrow morning (CET)... The industrial measures in the former post will be implemented in the next turn, but if it is possible expand HI at Saigon and Bangkok it will be do it  (the last one with more priorities).
