Do you have an enemy gold razing it? Any bombardment marks?

Self-destructing airstrip
A day ago an airstrip I had in Kumbe, New Guinea (World at War map) suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason. I thought it might be because of the critically low morale or something, but today when the morale had risen a bit I tried rebuilding and checked in a couple of hours and the province showed no signs that the airstrip project had even been embarked on (although I'm pretty sure I lost the resources I put into it).
Is this just a glitch or a problem someone else has had?

Nope. It just disappeared.
Could well be enemy sabotage, but given how weak I currently am, it's early game, and none of my enemies have premium accounts, it seems like rather a waste of money for anyone to do that.

They don't need Premium accounts to do it, just a little gold and the espionage menu. But I agree, based on your description it doesn't seem like you'd be a target. I can't think of anything else that would do it other than spy action, bombardment, or damage in a revolt (but I don't think that's enough to take out entire buildings)

The only logical explanation is that it was sabotage. Oh, well. If they want to waste gold on a player who's this far from collapsing by herself anyway, that's their loss.
I'm aware that you don't need a premium account for gold-related espionage, but it does seem like even more of a waste for normal players with limited amounts of gold to do that than the non-gold-related espionage missions would be.

Pro tip: if you know somebody to have a front-line airstrip, or a linch-pin airstrip he uses to ferry 'planes, one of the best things to do is to sabotage it. Or use strategic bombing. Most players forget to upgrade airstrips past lvl.1. Many players here can confirm.
Solution: don't build air routes with single points of failure. Or anything else. 
Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

Especially in extremely low morale province, there's often sabotage at day change without triggering a revolt. Was there a day change in between looking? Even when it was completely demolished though, any ongoing unfinished project would be continued to deliver the points of the building it hadn't done yet.

It wasn't even a chain. I could barely afford to build one.Lord Crayfish wrote:

The first time there was. The next couple of times I tried building an airstrip - one of them since I posted this thread, and in a separate province with higher morale - it wasn't even an hour before the construction cancelled itself.K.Rokossovski wrote:

Which possibly also rules out sabotage; I haven't knowingly been on the receiving end of it before, so I'm hazy on how it works.

At least you have your scorched earth tactics now, Aragosta!
