You can check in the arena setup for each field offline.

As far as I can tell there are two town sizes: 217 bldgs or 114.

A very quick way to check the number of any object on a base (including town buildings), is to do a .dt query on an undamaged base of the same type.
You get back the number of objects in hex format.

As far as I can see, it#s only somewhat tricky with vehicle bases, as there are (at least?) two types of such bases with the same icon.

On the map currently available with the pre, craterma & sfma, all fields have the same type of town with 114 buildings in it. During beta, large fields on Ndisles had 217.

EDIT: Wrong info.   :bhead Some large fields do have the large towns on craterma, but there's no way to tell from the map which ones.

The super large air field is a loose copy of an AAF bomber field from England. You can tell the difference in the hanger. Choose the manned gun option and look at the gun layout map. You will see a 37mm and 17lb available in the "Large Village" attached to the large air field. One of the guns protects the map room. I bet the sheep who used to greet us in the maproom has been stolen by Waffle.

It was the very first base we were given in the closed alpha about 2 years ago to test with, other than the 1000ft tall bock beer bottles used as place holders on the terrain in place of base objects before Hitech fleshed out the world.
