Here you can see the devastating industry losses Japan has suffered.
This bodes for a short game ... sorry.
[:(]
Don't apologize, nothing I don't know.[:)]
By May, I will start producing some fighters and perhaps even might start some in April. But, that is a lot of economic pounding by the combined Allied Air Force. Who knows how far the Soviets can advance by then? I figure the majority of Korea's industry will be destroyed by then. The Soviets don't have to advance very far at all to be able to hit Port Arthur, and quite frankly I can't defend it aerially from night bombing.
Below is the night attacks at Mudken by the nasty DB-3M (range 11 normal, 13 extended) and when combined with the DB-3T there are close to 200 of them. If the Soviets continue to use them as a night bombing force, they will lose very few. So far I have managed to destroy 3, 2 to ops and 1 to flak.
Anything 7 hexes from the Soviets will be destroyed as I can't compete, except for one off CAP traps, and very weak CAP traps at that.
I guess at some point I will be able to shore bombard the coastal runways, but the fuel drain of the constant bombardments I will need will be staggering.
The attack below left some fires and destroyed 12 resources.
