Japanese Home Island Supply in 1945

[RUPD3658]

Didn't convert the factory on day 1.

It looks like my tinkering with the economy is going to pay off. I wish I could remember what I did so I could write a thread about it. [8D]

so that stinks...no matter how much bombing i do my oppenant has a untouchable pool of Armament, HI, Manpower points from which to produce supply and re-equip entire armies.

The key is targeting order. This is what I think would have hurt me most:

1. Oil: There are only a few oil centers in Japan. Knock these out and the reserves start to dwindle. Each center produces 6 oil points which in turn run 6 HI which create 6 supplies.

2. Resources: They produce supply

3. AF factories: While the planes themselves go into a pool there are no stored production points. Bomb the factories and the AC production stops

4. Armament/Vehicle factories: The pools may be large but the sooner the sourse is cut off the faster the pools dwindle

5. Repair yards: prevents ships from upgrading

6. Naval/Merchant yards: These slow/stop ship construction but if you are bombing the Home Islands, a good Japanese player should have cancelled most production projects

7. Heavy Industry: With no oil they don't run and really don't effect the economy.
