unbelievable, Miller still is attacking even though nothing so far could achieve something against my high exp (80+) Oscar sentais. We achieve a 33:0!!!! in A2A kills today! That´s pretty much off IMO... it´s not encouraging though if you set 144 fighters on 90% Cap and you constantly not even see half of them airborne when the Allied will constantly get 100% into the air in a couple of months...

so much about how hard it was to kill off my troops that lost the base... couple of days and all are lost... [:(] Now the expected bad thing. Out of the 10 units there, I was able to evac a fragment of all of them. BUT, 4 disappeared completely, 2 turned into ghost units [:@], 1 stayed as fragment and 3 turned into the new parent unit. To make it worse, also the big base force (the most important unit) is lost... [:@]
