hehe, william, im not triying to make a contract, we just have only four rules

1.-Pts radius limit,, because you used them as a strike force like BBs,, crossing the hole ocean...

2.-Air night strikes limit to 27 planes, because you have upgrade 400 b-29 more o less and you wanted to put them on night attack , witp has no defense efective for night attacks

3.- B-29 superfrottes for the future attacks from airfield size 9

and 4.- minelaying subs only in war zones, wich is all the bases except japan,

i pòsted to sing that no more house rules will be

Betty Hedidnt [:D]!

I went to a Catholic High School here in S'port (Jesuit) and we had to read all the classics:

Tiger in the Outhouse by Claude Balls
Yellow River by I.P. Freely
Purple Puddle by I.P. Strangely
Under the Grandstands by Seemore Butts
Sex in the Service Station by Whopumped Ethyl
Spots on the Wall by Whoflung Dung (noted Chinese author)

and my favorite since its a Western...
Blood in the Saddle by The Kotex Kid [;)] [:D] !

(I bet you wont find these on Amazon either!)

2 - Unrealistic and bogus ... B-29 night attacks routinely numbered 200-300+ planes once they got into full swing and the Japanese DIDN'T have an effective defense against them except to evacuate the damn cities.

3 - Bogus because the Marianas (which WERE used as major B-29 bases) only have air field sizes of 7 unless I'm mistaken on the max af size

Wild_Willie2, you just got neutered as far as strategic air warfare goes. One reason - arguably I know - that the Marianas were such an important defensive position for the Japanese ... once they fell there was nothing the Japanese could do to stop the B-29 strikes.
