Make it HISTORICAL maps then.
Remember SECRET WEAPONS OF THE LUFTWAFFE?
Thats a DAMN good map! Full with factories, airfields and the works.
Remember ACES OF THE PACIFIC? The map they had there ROCKED!
(both maps have the same are size as the current MAIN ARENA in AH!).
My suggestion: Make Pacific & European theaters.
The Pacific includes the Easternmost part of China (for the Flying Tigers!) on the WEST side of the map, Northern Australia on the South part of the map, Wake Island on the EAST side of the map and Southern Japan on the Northern part of the map. (Don't you love it when everything gets reversed?
)
We would have fields like Henderson Field, Aircraft Carriers (for US and Japanese) and the infamous Zero strips that were positioned all over the pacific...! Add ships for invasions (can I drive a landing craft instead of a Goon? or both?
)
For strat. targets (aka, the factories and cities in the current AH), you could have supply convoys (both sides) and factories to cripple their ammo,troops and gas production, army bases,cities and airfields (same as AH now). Thing is, it would be cooler if you could capture facilities by putting your troops in them, just like airfields.
In Europe you would have Northern Africa on the south part of the map, Southern Norway on the Nort side of the map, Ireland on the West part of the map and Western Russia on the East side of the Map. Oil fields for oil, Factories for ammo, train stations (to increase the re-build time in fields and stuff), cities, airfields, etc.
I will submit the maps of this 2 theaters in 6 hours, I gotta scan them and put em on the web =).
