I'm so confused by this wish.

Does that mean there are layers of bases? 

First ring has "X" bases.
You dive down the center of the map, you reach the second ring, which then has "X" bases.
And so on and so on?

Like the rings of hell?

No, think of an Aces High map working like a world map



Now just shrink the scale and imagine the Americas are Bish, Europe and Africa are Knight, and Asia and Oceania are Rook.

Ah I see.

Would allow for all 3 countries fighting each other at the same time without traveling 10+ sectors on some of the larger maps.

Whats Antactica? Dale's house  ?



We already have this option on several maps, people just don't like to stir up extra touble when things are quiet.

I like the rings of hell idea-- it would make the game feel like Utapau, from Star Wars

Now it made me thinking. And this idea aint lost at all.

I like this........... every country has two fronts but the default map has no 3 way battle points................

Put plenty of empty ocean to the north and south........ maps could be island based land based or a mixture of the two

Wierd stuff could also happen......two invading countries could split a third in half............

[B-17]

That would be wierd... that last one. If they both launched a kickass assault against the one odd man out, and then fought over the territory they now "share".

A way to avoid having it look like you jumped from one side of the map to the other side a la Pacman would be to have the map centered on your plane icon.

It could provide for easier maps since to make it totally symmetrical you would only have to lay out half of a country's bases, then mirror it, then make the other 2 identical.  No need for country rotation.

The Civilization franchise worlds work the same way, you can only go so far north or south but east to west loops back on itself.
