Map sizes

[earl1937]

  Not sure if this would be an easy thing to do, but, take the Greebo "crater" map which is now in rotation. If you could spead that map in 1 or 2 sectors in all directions, it would be a good replacement map for Trinity. Its a great map, with a lot of options, but some bases just to close together.

How would enlarging it by 1 sector make it like trinity?

All it does is enlarge the land mass and might make distances a bit farther

I think Greebo's Crater map is perfect as is. Good base spread allowing for great quick fights, plenty of bases on the water for CV action, 3 CVs per side, one of the best TT's. Doesn't need to be tweaked in any way.

I'm not really an old hand at AH, but I agree with Latrobe, I think Greebo's map is great just the way it is. Wish we had several more like it. Thanks Greebo!!!!

No such thing as 'bases too close together'

if the ack can hit you at your own base from another, that would be too close.

It's not the size of the map that matters rather how you use it

Wouldn't you know

I have a small "map" and heck if I know what to do with it

Last night was good example of bases to close together! V-61 on the Bish side of things. 2 airbases within about 10 miles of the v base made it almost impossible to capture without a horde at both air bases while attacking the v base. Took a fair size force, about 6 B-26's, 4 hvy fighters to attack v base, was immediately attacked by not 1 but 3 262's and other assorted aircraft, so you can guess how the rest went.

i get it now, you want easy base takes...get more people to fly bish, then you can just horde your way around the map.

This is where planning makes a difference. Two heavy fighters to drop Ord at the airfield to stop the bomb yards, and to cover the resupply. A couple of b26's to drop hangers at the v v base, a t guys to run in to the v base with a couple of wirbles, a couple of M18's and a couple of m3's.

Only defense is hurris and il2s easily picked off or slowed down by cover fighters.

Adapt, don't use the same old plan every time.

We, the Devil Dogs do what you suggest every night! I was just trying to point out a situation in reply to another post on this thread!
