I Look forward to seeing the map!  Glad to know you are willing to take chances, guys that are make the best A&A players!

Pro interrupt - are you sure you want to move your units to east Us SZ?

Check this out - in East USA, because of airbase, thier movement range is boosted and they cover way more zones/territories, they could even bail out the pacific in a pinch. Further - if I somehow attacked US East Sea zone you can still scramble anyways.

Basically it’s almost always Better to have the fighters at the AB instead of the SZ.  A&A, especially global, is a game of possibility and projection, and maximizing it.  Like chess, strength lies in the amount of opportunities a piece has.  Don’t deny your fighters the additional 15 zones or so they can effect just because you want to see them on the carrier :p

I look forward to a full debrief after.  I like some of the things you have done - even surprised me!
