I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Aircraft question
-
Can an aircraft “see” through forests or hills and attack an enemy on the other side?
-
Terrain never blocks LOS to or from an Aircraft.

@Der:
Terrain never blocks LOS to or from an Aircraft.
So this means that anything in range of the aircraft can shoot back at it without LOS?
-
No.
Terrain doesn’t block LOS to/from an aircraft means only that. It doesn’t allow units to fire without LOS.
This is significant because Smoke Screen is not terrain and does block LOS to aircraft.
