3 Fighters In New Zealand Query

[swanny]

Hi,

Anyone know the basis for the 3 fighters in NZ? I initially thought it was a misprint. Did NZ have a large air force (3 times larger than Australia’s apparently), or is this a Douglas Bader stayed home option (or the rest of him stayed home as well), or perhaps just there to tweak the balance of the game, or some other reason?

A little historical fudging with the setup to make sure the middle of the game has a little more historical flavor perhaps?

And Balance probably.

There is no “New Zealand Air Force” or “Austrailia Air Force.”  All of those units are part of the Austailian New Zealand Army Corps.  Just think of those planes as ANZAC forces, that happen to be stationed in New Zealand at the start of the game.

What does Douglas Bader have to do with New Zealand?

Right…

Because NO WHERE on the internet does it say Douglas Bader ever had anything to do with Australia.

ANZAC/ UK fighters maybe….
