Actually, the idea of being able to 'drop' certain elements of fields is rather interesting. Imagine being able to drop an ack or drop a rearm pad and the difference that would make in the ebb and flow of the game. If a rearm pad were also able to repair (say 2 minutes for the repair) one could build a map that had only a few fields to start with. (I suppose to make it a bit harder a C-47 box of 3 might be needed to drop a pad or an ack.)
In short, what you would be creating here is game like "Age of Empires" and its ilk except that the peasants are us.
