Yes, the map is bigger, especially in Russia/Chi territory. Getting more realistic that way. Read the rules and notes about this game carefully, there are a couple of things different from the G40 gaming experience. Like unit cost and capabilties.
The political situation is also with the new National Objectives and the Mongolian dispute.

(The fighter coverage on land given by air bases is a really interesting mechanic, great way to use planes to defend across a wider front)
Normally (G40) I wouldnt build a airbase first round, but like you mention its a great way too boost your defense (it can protect 5 territory’s plus a seazone), further more its a great way to increase the reach of the aircrafts so they can go almost anywhere they are needed in the future.

@flyingbadger Scramble to SZ99?

Yes, scramble with 3 fighters into sz99

@cds Okay. Brits scored 3 hits on first round, what do you want to lose? (TripleA suggests damaging the battleship and losing the cruiser and an Italian fighter).
-
hit on bb, then cruiser and the german fighter
-
@cds Okay, I’m down to the bomber, 2 fighters and tactical bomber against the damaged battleship and 2 fighter. Next round, I’ve scored 2 hits, what do you lose?
-
The 2 fighters
-
@cds Darn, that’s the thing I’m trying to kill. Can’t let that loose.
-
Would you have retreated if I had chosen the battleship first and keeping one fighter at the end?!

@cds Yes, would have liked to have kept more air available for Med/Africa. Although maybe destroying the Italian fighter is the smarter choice?
