ORIGINAL: Mike Solli Welcome to the dark side! My advice is to take it slow. Figure out how much supply you want to spend on facility upgrades/changes and the make a list of everything you want to do. Prioritize that list and don't exceed your spending budget. In a few months, see how your levels (HI, resources, oil, fuel, supply, etc.) and adjust accordingly. Once you get things in sync, you can review monthly or so. You have some 1600 turns. You do not have to do everything on 7 Dec 41. +1 Also, think in terms of your entire game goals from the beginning. If you know you want an aggressive AV attempt you should plan to make more airframes early, not bank as much HI, not plan as prudently for the future. If on the other hand you want to survive into the late game with some fighting ability, plan now for ALL of your future airframe and engine choices. I thought it was crazy when people suggested that in my first AAR, but they were absolutely correct. The more you look ahead and think through these things, the better. A while back I created an "average" balanced look at fighter airframe production for Japan throughout the war. It's not necessarily based on what I would do for myself, but what might happen if a player wanted to build a lot of different airframes, didn't want to either front load or back load the economy. Not useful for everyone, but gives an idea of how things ramp up at least. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3359966 Good luck!
