...when running a mission?
Well, I've been messing around making some Airfield Attack diagram thingys for the new bases with the targets at each base numbered. I was gonna just keep these for my squad, but we have a lot of other guys who are in our missions at times, so I'll just post em all here. As far as I know, nobodys made made any for the new style bases we were presented with in the last version. These aren't perfect, but I think they are accurate.
Having targets numbered is a must if you're using the mission planner, and it helps if all the bombers and/or jabos have the same field diagrams to go along with it, so its clear who is to blow up what.
These are the 512X512's made to go in your clipboard, all you have to do is save these to your C/ :program files/HTC/aceshigh/maps directory, make sure they are named large.bmp, medium.bmp, small.bmp, sfma.bmp, & ndisles.bmp. I think those are the names of the default bitmaps, if not, you need to go into the game and click on Edit at the top of your clipboard, and choose them like that. Pretty self explanatory. If ya need help, yell at me.
I also took two of the Screamin Blue Messiahs maps a few months ago, and resized em for my clipboard. (hope the SBM's don't mind me posting this here, if they do, I'll take 'em down).
Here's the download...

Most military bases have a titty bar, tatto hall, and a few taverns outside the gate. Ya, no gate either.

One big attaboy Hblair to you and anyone else who shares maps etc. with the entire community even our dreaded and despised enemies the rusting Nits and coneheaded Bish. It will surely improve the quality of game play for all us us when we depart for a base and the mission leader doesn't say something like, "what size bases is XX"? Damn! Can you imagine Gen. Savage saying that on 12 o'clock high? I'm working on a distance chart for the various maps and will also post it when I finish it. Meantime use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure your own distances.

If it 'spodes shoot it! (yes, chutes explode)

"Coneheaded bish"??
Hey; I resemble that remark.
Thank you Hblair! You get one 'captured knit bimbo' inflatable sheep to do as you wish with; just as soon a Mason gives it back.
<S!>

I took care of this problem awhile back by adding to the flight name what their target is...now I just have to get folks to read their flight targets before rolling!

Couple of guys asked me about these earlier in the main, so I'll punt this to the top...

Here's my contribution, two reports listing all the bases and targets in the Islands Arena. Use you imagination cause the BBS runs it all together (it's fine in the file).
According to what I read in the HTC News, I'll probably have to get busy because more terrains are coming and the rotation is going to be post war not at the end of the tour. Here's a sample of what is in the text reports which you can download from

Hope you find some use
