Unfortunately, in this moment, i must abandon this game.
The reasons are the following:

1.Because my fault, or more surely because the excessive aircraft expand i do, the japanese aircraft production has collapsed.
My engine and aircraft polls are empty and the partial solution stopping some planes months ago has no results. Actually have more than twenty daitais/hikotais on "reorganizing" and with no hope to reveive it.
2.The number of japanese TK has decreased to minimal number and the oil and resources do not reach Home industries to cover the production.
3.May be because i have upgraded to 1.6 without re-start, the auto-convoy system is down.
4.The japanese air remplacements are soooo small and virtually all japanese fighters (army and navy) have experience below 50.

Sorry to my readers and thanks to support and read my AAR.
I hope re-start another game, with some modifications, japanese favour.

Fremen.

Qué faena tio!!

Es uno de los 2 AARs que seguía con asiduidad!. Era fácil de leer y entretenido!. Menuda cagada la de los aviones no??. Supongo que te faltó algo de experiencia...
Sería interesante que colgases algun mapita con la situación final y tb alguna estadística final del asunto no??
No obstante, antes de abandonar la batalla, te recomiendo que te tomes unos días de reflexión y luego decidas definitivamente. La partida estaba en un momento muy interesante!

Un saludo, fremen [;)]
