I've included a bit of Britain for various reasons.
During Battle of France a lot of the RAF flew in from British Airfields, carried out a mission, landed in France to re-arm and re-fuel, carried out a second mission, then flew back to Britain -- for tea.
Bases in Kent are needed for realistic Dunkirk scenarios.
Channel ports bombing missions during Sealion build up
Also for air support over Dieppe in 1942.
Or for bombing missions UK to Rhine.
I didn't want to move the map further west because I would lose complete coverage of the Ardennes, which is where I started with this. So we also have potential for 100% cover of the Battle of the Bulge 1944.
Heck! how many more scenarios do you want. :lol:
I considered moving the map north to pick up Arnhem but that would have put both Arnhem and Sedan too close to the map edges. We are limited to set template sizes for the maps at present.
There was also some thought given to distorting the map scale in the north south direction but I didn't want to lose the realistic scales which I am currently working to.
