What are the sizes of your airfields in Southern California? What amount of aviation support and HQs do you have available?
Have you located the KB? Curious to know ranges of any LRCAP missions over invasion hexes.

Kudos to your opponent, win or lose, for one hell of a gutsy move! Your defensive prep looks pretty good, good luck!

I keep thinking of another game where planes would hit the water when you set them at 100 feet. They did not bounce back up which would run the digital pilots whole day.

Don't forget your secret advantage - Japanese troops getting lost in Santa Ana and wandering into the wrong neighborhoods.

Its not part of the common child vaccination program here in Sweden. Not unless you are part of the "risk group".
Not really sure why its not.

Heh, learn something new every day. Curious, are some vaccinations routine or mandatory? Also, are there any measures to contain the infection or notify anyone that might come in contact? Are chickenpox common? just curious really

When I was a kid Smallpox was certainly vaccinated against, but as I recall everyone just got Chickenpox and parents were concerned if you didn't get it young enough because getting it older was worse.

Some are mandatory I think. At least offered for free. Can´t be bothered to translate them all but Polio, mumps, diphtheria tetanus and measles are part of the program. I think all in all its 10 or so deceases which are part of the child vaccination program.
You can of course vaccinate for other stuff too and its not that expensive. But we never even considered vaccinating against chickenpox tbh. Its just something everyone gets once and then its done with forever. We did vaccinate Ida against a very nasty stomach virus called the rota virus. Its now also part of the program but wasnt when she was small but Alexander got it for free.
As witpqs says it is apparently horrible to suffer through chickenpox when adult. But me and my wife had it when we were small though.

When I was about three we lived in navy housing (WWII era stuff outside Makalapa Gate at Pearl), and the Baby Boomer moms used to have "Pox Parties" when the men were out. One kid got sick and the moms would gather at her house with their kids, drink, and let the children infect each other. Get it over so Dad didn't have to deal when he came home from the sea.

They still do it nowadays, under a different name. It is called kindergarten...

Rubela (German Measles) in the US is another one. I had the smallpox vaccine twice.
I understand that oatmeal baths can help reduce the itchiness as she is probably too young for Jack Daniels . . .

That's 5 YO though. Back then they wanted you to have it at 18 months or so. I've been told I had a terrible case, but I have no memory of it. So it's a way to go.

The reason Chickenpox is now considered a risky disease is that after you have had it, the virus remains dormant in your system and a percentage of people will get Shingles from it later in life. When I worked in a large office building someone broke out in Shingles and there was near panic among the other staff, even though AFAIK it is not contagious.
