The overall air statistics were 15:1 in air to air combat
for the day - virtually all due to a CAF/JAAF series
of air battles related to the (stalled) campaign for

that is 100% of the squadron involved (because it
was caught unescorted).

In a way similar to stock, this RHS test is running with limited political
points. Never mind it has six times the number of stock, these few points
generally prevent players from exercising reasonable control over the
game, particularly in terms of unified commands. Today the JNAF commander
in Australia got permission from his team-mates (it is a tag team game
with four Axis players) to spend many pp to unify air units under a single
HQ in range of the anticipated air combat. The result was dramatic - about
9:1 favorable air to air combat in spite of a superior number of Allied
aircraft (operating WITHOUT unified command and, for that reason, often
not well coordinated). All future RHS games will feature vastly more pp,
and reverse the usual ratio giving more to the Allies than to Japan - because
the Allies have so many more units to spend them on too few severely limits
realistic play options. In one game, trying to do the historical British
counter-invasion of Burma required two full years of pp!
