Might I say it is not a very Merry Christmas in the other AAR. Well played. A good opponent got sloppy and you took full advantage. I hope it has been a great boost to your moral. Excellent work sir

2. I'm interested in the strategic bombing side of things. I've advised GJ about strategic bombing in his thread. I won't go into the advice here to preserve FOW although, to be fair, I could give it all verbatim without breaching FOW since it isn't as though he is adhering to it much. He's like a cat who gets distracted by shiny reflections on the wall. My question is this.... Could you outline the following:
a) what your monthly fighter production WAS before he began his bombing campaign - ideally broken down by type.
b) what your R&D was ( again broken down by type ).
c) what he has taken out - from reading various reports it looks like somewhere between 400 to 800 airframe factories have been removed from play but I think a lot of them were strikes against R&D factories.
d) What your plane pools are like now.
e) Do you view the strikes on your R&D as having been useful or would you be in more trouble now if instead of R&D factories he had torched the same number of George or Frank or Sam factories instead?
I know that's a bit of detail but even rough answers would make an analysis of the success or failure of the strategic bomber offensive possible. My personal sense is that he had an immense opportunity to knock out your airframe factories producing Georges, Franks and Sams when he first landed but has squandered that possibility through taking too long to begin hitting them, failing to concentrate his bomber forces, failing to focus his forces on a single set of targets and then allowing force on force matchups between his air force and your largest fighter concentrations - all of which benefit you more than him. At this point in time it seems like whoever's nerve holds best will win the strategic bombing campaign --- and that looks likely to be you.
I'd be interested in your analysis though.
