Strat Factories

[earl1937]

  80HD has a good suggestion on the penalty involved with the strats and effects on bases! +5 on his suggestion. Now lets look at a different situation! AH could scatter the factories around though out the country in which they exist, then you could have "recon" flights added to the game to find them, then call in a bomber or fighter strike to destroy it. Then your "Mossie" bombers would be more than hangar queens. You could then decide if you wanted to effect the opposing countries troops, ack-ack, radar factory or what have you. I realize the city around the strats now represent factory workers homes and etc, so why not move some of the city to the new location also? Don't put any symbols on the bases to be able to consult maps to find them, you would have to put a "eyeball" on them for detection. That would give us more missions to do now, instead of the same old thing, take a base, take a base, furball, take a base, furball.

this is how it used to be (scattered around), except they did show on the map.

I think coad wize it would be a problem "dropping" the strats into random spots each time the maps would reset, as they are attached to the resupply system in the game.

As for missions, they don't have to be the same. Instead of doing the same old "take", take 2 or 3 at the same time. Can you get 2 or 3 capture messages to show up on the same page of the text buffer? 2 or 3 scattered bases is easier than 2 or 3 side by side. Can you build a plan to do it? Can you execute it? Challenge yourself and those that fly with you. Anyone can take a base with 20 heavy ponies. The game doesn't need changes to find more challenges.
