Brigada-san is running rampant. The only allied strategy, (if it can be called one) is to put some obstacles in his path, and try (unsuccessfully up to now) to preserve some remnants of the allied forces from sinking in the debacle.

greetings...

nice AAR, i will enjoy, like i enjoy in Spain (was twice in your country - Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Granada, Malaga and Sevilla).

Proxima estacion?

Singapore



just small comment about Hitachi engines

IIRC, only ac with Hitachi engines are Ki-32 Mary, Ki -54 and Ki-36... Im not using Ki-54 (Teresa upgrades to Hickory but have awful range of 4, so i leave Theresa). Mary - have them in a pool enough, and after pool is exausted (or maybe even earlier) i will upgrade them to Lilly...

Ida - 2 groups of this short legged outclassed recon (they dont upgrade). Using them, but nothing more....(certantly they are waste of HI and engines:)

So i change Hitachi engines to Nakajima immediately...

[kaleun]

Yes, you could guess that that is the next stop.
Si puedes adivinar que esa es la siguiente parada.

greetings, i think you should produce more zeros. (always is better expand/or convert to/ several zero factory than expand one big... lett say expand one big factory - you will have only 1 zero more in production per day...on the other hand if you convert/expandfor example 5 small factories you will have 5 zeros more per day:)

Betty - depends on losses, but 35 can be optional.
Nells - halt them (if you did not done on turn 1 - they will autoconvert to Betty fac. in january)
Oscar I - you should have plenty of them in the pool. You can halt production for a while until your Oscar I pool gets lower (save HI points and engines)

Kate - enough for now (but depends on the stile of your opponent - ih he avioding confronting KB it is enough)

VAl - super

Claude - you don't need them any more. They upgrade to Zero, switch factory to A6M2.

Sonia - good (if your losses are light, you can convert one small Sonia fac to other type)

Good for now, but since you probably gonna use them a lot and for a long period (IIRC they upgrade to Peggy, i'm not sure for a date, but it is '44) you have quite a lot Sallys group you can expand production ... i dont know, 30 or 40/per month

Lilly - good

Topsy - not bad...

Also, i convert factories to produce Tabby (Thora upgrades to Tabby which is certantly better transport ac)

well, this is just my thoughts. I could be wrong, of course, but it works for me....
