I think in general (for other map makers out there) that doing a late war as the primary makes a lot of sense. It is trivial to lasso completed fields and delete them to create an early war version.
Note also that modding in general allows amazing latitude for campaign builders. I'm sure many of you played Cactus Diary. The construction of the fields was brilliant (the bull dozers making piles of dirt, etc.). Now, a campaign builder could create their campaign not just as a campaign install, but as a MOD. Any campaign could have custom maps if desired. Little changes like a new actors.static with fields under construction.
I can see a version with Munda under construction, as well as a true late war variant with Munda lengthened to 8000' for bombers.
My Munda right now is actually the japanese field. I need to make a late version with everything flattened and the runways bigger.
That's pretty easy though.
