I'm obviously tired if I let that slip by. Thanks for the catch.

This was the particular phraseology that trapped me. I began to think that an HR was a special Japanese fighter unit that would become available later in the war. HR? HR? High raider? Heavy rocketry? Hit & runner?

House rule! Ah so, Danielsan. For stupidity punishment, go paint fence. Don't forget to breathe.

A list of the acronyms used is a sticky.

PBEM games typically will have some house rules that are mutually agreed upon. Like no CV hunting on turn 1, or allies can only post movement orders for TF's, cannot create new TF's. Things like that. rules that the players agree upon to improve the quality of their match.

there are also plenty of PBEM with no HR.

Against the AI, I have a set list of HR's which help the AI survive. Example: no "deep offensive" strikes like a surprise landing in Portland.

Just supply as there is no need to build aircraft engines, expand industry, and so on. Repairs to damaged industry require supplies only and the Allies are not allowed to expand industry nor do they even bother to build air craft engines.

But those are global HI points not just the local ones.

I think that Allied pilot training also eats some HI - like the Japanese training?
