Now that we have the roads, sea lanes, rail routes and CV patrol boxes, we can now make a master map file. In the master map file you need to put the following:
1) Static objects underneath factory buildings, aircraft hangars, or any building. Using any static object will just cause the bombers to bomb the buildings. Using static trucks will effect resupply. (like a squadron not getting any planes instead of one plane per squadron per day) Using oil trucks or oil train cars will effect the fuel supply system (causing tanks not to move or squadrons not to fly)
2) Train cars at train stations
3) Anti-Aircraft guns defending any location you want
4) Static Planes at airfields - When you put static planes at airfields, it does not matter what type you put in the map, because DCG will put the plane type stationed at that airfield in the locations of the static planes. So don't put planes inside hangars or nets because if bomber types are used, parts of the plane will be sticking out akwardly. Only do it if you can orient the largest plane type to fit inside the hangar.
5) Ships, Tanks, Vehicles - Just pick the type you want, quantity you want, and give it two waypts anywhere on the map. Any ships that are placed above a transport sail in the .prd with the carrier. Any ships below the transport ships use the sea lanes.
6) Squadrons in the campaign - Note that all the squadrons you put in the master map are all the squadrons that will be in the map other than player squadron. When choosing squadron names, remember that you need an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SQUADRON NAME for each squadron you put in the map. Also choose squadron names that you will more than likely not be selecting as your squadron when you start the campaign, otherwise a key squadron may not appear because the player squadron overwrited the other squadron. So if you put JG/I as a squadron of He111 bombers in your map, and when you select to play you choose the same squadron in a Bf109, NO bombers will appear because your squadron of BF109's overwrite them and the Germans are then dissadvantaged because they go through the campaign without any bombers ...
One more thing, there are two squadrons designated as Kamikaze squadrons only by DCG. I will tell you which ones they are when I go look it up. I think it is "Test Center" for IJAF and Kutai 601 for IJN.
Important You need to place objects for BOTH sides at EACH location. But only the side that ownes that location will have it's objects appear. If the other side captures the location, it's objects will then appear.
