Again, I understand your desire to keep the game within manageable limits in terms of numbers.

I'm curious, though, in regard to the anti-aircraft cruisers, was this done partly out of play-balance considerations, or was the unit limit the sole concern?

A little bit of both. The Allies have so many new ships late in the war, I think they already lose some of their individuality, and I didn't want the Japanese player to feel like he was being Zerg-rushed at the end.
