ORIGINAL: crsutton Ok, AFB question. What are the ramification for Japan once that DEI oil is cut off? Say mid 1944... Can she still fight for long by cutting some corners? My 'quicky' answer is that it depends on the amount banked back in the HI. Is *all* DEI oil / fuel cut off or just one or two ports? Just oil? Just fuel? In my game, I figure I have a roughly 6 month supply at current rates of consumption. Beyond that, I would have to cut quite a few corners to keep going. Others mileage may vary. In addition to oil/fuel, it depends upon "banked" HI ... someone like MikeS (or anyone who has graduated from his 'school') would have +++3M HI banked by mid 44, and then have MP, VEH, and ARM banked as well. Stop NSY/MSY, pull pilots into groups, start agressive kami attacks ... easily could go 2 more years .... once you lose the DEI, you aren't expanding any more so a lot of your economy can go to the boards. Your biggest expense then is a/c. I only 'plan' to have DEI under my control for 20 months. Any time after that is bonus time ... sure I generally see 6 months of bonus, but by planning conservatively I have really good stocks in place ....
