I had some troops at Miri march over to Brunei and storm the place and they did and grabbed the base from the
Allies. The defenders are retreating toward Beauford.

I thought I'd do a DA at Manado and see what happens and it turned out rather well. A few more attacks and it's
in the bag.

Someplace in the middle of China I tried a ground bombardment event but I don't have enough of a dominance in arty
to make a dent in the Allies.

I bought out the 7th Rgmt and moved it to Fusan for loading but there's not enough ships there to lift it. I'll
have to send for some more AP's from Shanghi to load the whole thing.

Here's what's going on near the Celebes. Brian has opened the gate to the corral and all the ships are heading
for the nearest safety and some of them are going to make it I think. I can't be everywhere at once and he's
spread out his ships to I can't target them all.

Here's the VP ratio for those of you keeping track of that.

Here's the Tracker Overview tab of the Industry display. I'm not sure what information I need from this page and
it all looks good to me. I'm seeing negative numbers for the oil flow so I need to address that sometime soon.

Armaments and Vehicles is still a problem. I've bumped up production of them but there's a lag in production.
I'm paying a lot for those 5K pilots but I think I need them. All of them.

I just grabbed Taiping in Malaya and there's only three or four Allied units to subdue on my way to Singapore.

Here's the strategic situation. I'm still floating on PP's.

Here's the sunk ships from last turn. I think the AS is still afloat however. There's an AS still afloat according
to the mouseover of the Allied TF.

Here's what's coming out of the shipyards pretty soon. I haven't accellerated all the ships I want to yet.

I've got 2600+ pilots in the reserve and I need to get most of them into a flying squadron of some type just to
accumulate the flying hours and increase their experience. I'm low on transport pilots and recon pilots.

I see a zero in the Naval pilots row and I'm not real sure what I should do about that. If anything.

Here's some of the aircraft and engines so far. Still not enough production to suit me.
I'm just impatient I guess.

Progress is being made in the PI. I'm starting to fly in some planes to the Phillippines to get them off the
Formosa island and closer to the fighting. Especially my escorts.

And then there was this strike on Heng Chen or someplace in central China. I got some good hits and more are needed.

Ok, I've browsed the AAR from the beginning until this post, but I'm not going to keep the replies and comments until the end of it.

So this mod seems to really be a micromanagement hell, as you've posed it;

on the other side, it lokks also very intriguing and ecxiting.

There are many things I like: training squadrons, a more detailed land unit composition, realistic and propagated air engines pool (wow), and others.

Just one question please:

I notice the armament payload of the light army bombers on this strike; WOW!

but does this payload change for a mission different from "airfield attack"?

I'd be really interested to know...

Here's the load pattern for the Ann and the Sonia. I'm not sure if I know what you're asking
but I assume it's the same loadouts for every mission reguardless of the target. I don't
really know. I don't know if either of them can carry a TT for instance.....I don't think so.

I thought I'd dedicate one of my training squadrons to General training just to see what would happen and I see
where they are learning a little bit of everything but they seem to be concentrating on Ground Bombing. But all
the flight hours are good for experience and defense and I think I'll let them train some more just to see how
fast they gain skills.

Judging from the screenshot I thought the Sonia and Annes maybe were "modded" for special payload for airport attack (small frag boblets)...

just out of curiosity, would you check the airplane data panel of an Ann unit when given order of ground attack?
