Based on your general force structure, I would prefer having twice as much artillery and a dozen bombers. Unless, of course, you are making it a point to not bombard cities (and destroy marketplaces) or pillage.

yes, my fighting always goes better near coastlines cuz of my navy (and blitz ability for battleships, thats fiveshots per battleship max!).

My airforce is bigger! Carlisle, my city that i set up to fill in the "no mans land" was destroyed, making another, no mans land!

Hehe, everytime a transporter full of tanks hits the shaws of the other continent (one in the middle) my waves get bigger!

"We won't however have a block 1 city wide, it will have to be at least 2 citys wide to prevent these citys being attacked from both sides.
"We are happy to report that our new CAS system (Close Air Support) is working well, the bombers are hitting targets just hours before the Tanks and Infantry teams move in to clear the area of the weakened enemys in side the citys
"Fighters have been hunting down enemys in the country side and forcing them to either retreat or split up into a non-functional unit.

i got about 17 bombers now, and jet fighters. They're all based in citys right on the front line, i just have to make sure i have enough infantry in them citys to defend, i don't want to lose valuble bombers and airfields such as the one in San Fransico, its a major one! I also have another major one thats just 1 square to far from Paris!

Ground crews prepare Lancaster for bombing raid over france, when they're in the air they wait for command to give them a heading where combat is expected to get thick in a few minutes, then command tells gives them targets market by units on the ground.

News:
Navy takes the lime light!

Battleships manage to split France in two by destroying road, they also seperated a Babylonian city from the rest, and...
...paris came under artillary fire today, it wasn't much artillary, it was only 3 shots, but it still took some damage. The RN is planning more attacks on Paris but are waiting to take Avignon by beach landing, two Marine units failed to land, but one managed to get back on the landing craft and made it back to the transporter, they are now waiting for re-enforcements.

got advanced flight, i can now build paras and carriers, as well as choppers!

My game rules have made marines a bit better on the attack, and paras have the same defence as infantry (10dp), with the same attack as my marines (14ap).

Since it takes a more advanced plane to fly off and land on a carrier, i made carrier come with advanced flight instead. (how come you can build carrier before you can build aircraft anyways?)

ok, going on! I named the unit from my leader "rolling thunder". Thanks whoever said that!

Heres a world map to show you how good my war is going!
My close air support is doing very well, somtimes its pointless me bothering to send a group of tanks in, my aircraft somtimes clear the city by them selves!

This is a question, does the AI ever build fighters? I made it a priority for all civs to want to build aircraft!

I'd really like to see an air war, when i get my nukes supplys up and running, and a network of nuclear-subs armed with tacticles humming around the boarders, i'm planning on having an air war (because of the 8 square thing it looks like i'll be stuck with carriers!).

My migs will be bombing them round the clock! and i'm hoping by then rgwy'll of filled in the rest of the land!

March 2, 1965 - The United States begins Operation Rolling Thunder, a bombing offensive aimed at forcing North Vietnam to stop supporting the Viet Cong guerrillas in the south. Beware the element they will cause your troops to too much and this can cut down on combat effectiveness. Attempts by the USO to bring in to distract the troops from their psychedelic pursuits proved ineffective.

Operation Bell, the insertion of paratroopers, is very succesful, i lost none in the drop!

HMS/HMC Ark Royal, I've picked only my Elite Bombers to be stationed on this carrier, and 3 vetren fighters (my carriers hold 8). I've got a bigger force on that carrier, than France did before i invaded!

Operation Bell (for 'Behind Enemy Lines') has produced 3 Babylonian citys! The different squads were surrounding the citys and did a nice job!
Oh, and by the way, this operation wasn't just paras, Marines were also droped by chopper into the areas! But they havn't been as succesful!

ok, i've been thinking, and i've worked out, that ever so often i need a peaceful time, this is when i boost up culture, and make a load of money, cuz during war i'm always paying to speed up the production! I usualy have 20k+, and at the moment i have 9k.

Oh, and London is Second best city in world now, it was third!

In that case, I would be surprised if they have the warewithall to make jets or fighters.I do not recall seeing them much until at least Regent, maybe even Monarch. But, I am not a big time bomber either. I see them all the time at Monarch and above. These are std maps or larger, mostly domination or conquest, so the games go farther.
