Hi everyone...first of all great work! I really like this mod, i always tought that Witp engine could work quite well in the Med. Then i'm Italian, and i'm trying to get accepted in the Italian Navy Officer School...so it's a plaesure to have a chance to change history. I hadn't time to test the game properly, even tough i promised a game to a friend of mine since several months now...one day i'll start playing serious. Anyway ,i found a minor issue, not really important like the supplies question you're talking, but quite relevant; while watching the starting set-up of Axis forces i noticed that the "33 Gruppo BT" is using the P.108B, an italian 4 engine level bomber. I'm not a great expert, and i had never heard of these big guy before, so i did quick google search about it. I found out from different sources (here you have the english wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_P.108) that the P 108B was fielded from half 1941 but it was used in combat operations only from june 1942, because of a lot of technical problems were found out during first months of training (one of Mussolini's son, Bruno, which was the squadron leader , died in the first training flight). Additionaly, only a limited number of them were produced in the entire war. The number i found aren't equal, but most of them agree that no more than 30-40 were built. I also found a 163 units somewhere, which i suppose is the number you used for the replacement rate, but i agree with wiki writer to be a unrealistic amount. I think that production of 163 B-17 had took half of the whole italian industrial capacity. I think you should change entry date and reduce the replacement rate. Also, the unit using it should be called "274 Squadriglia BGR( Bombardamento Grande Raggio, Long Range Bombardment) That's not a really important question, but we are talking about of one of that proverbial planes that could have a serious impact on the war (or at least on the game) if they weren't "too few and too late". It's not really a critics, just an advice My 2 cents, hope i could help. Keep up the good work
