PSB problem :
Given that WWII fighters were capable of the required
level of coordination without any special training in
multi-carrier operations (see the Pacific theater
naval battles, Midway in particular), you are assuming
that the increase in coordination required when going
from air to space fighters is substantially greater
than the improvement in Command and Control
technologies going from WWII to the time in your game.

Also, given that two of the most common FT turn
lengths are 7.5 and 15 minutes, it is rather hard to
buy the 'not enough time for multiple seperate waves' aspect.
