Im posting way too much in this...anyway, im excited . With this map can cover most of the early attacks on Rangoon by the IJAF (Ki21,Ki27,Ki30 and Ki43) against RAF (Buffalo) and the AVG (Hawk81).

From that i found that the map have one airfield missing:
"Burma, January 1942. Large arc shows the range of JAAF heavy bombers at Bangkok; smaller one shows the range of the light bombers at Phitsanulok, Thailand. (The arc of Allied response is shown unshaded.) Note the Hanoi-Kunming battle area at upper right."
The base at Phitsanulok is not present in the Alpha we have .
Another little thing:
"he formation crossed the Salween River at an altitude of 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). The heavy bombers were in the lead, with the light bomber trailing three kilometers behind them on the left, protected by the fighters. At 12:30 the bomber crews could see the white "A" of Mingaladon's runways, and the dust from the Allied fighters taking off. "
So Mingaladon should be "A" shaped base.
Mingalodon 1941/42
1943

And Third: There should be a field in Raheng, which i cant find also. (Ki27s operated from there), and an airfield at Mudon "Later the same day, the 62nd Sentai heavy bombers escorted by 50th Sentai fighters attacked Moulmein airport and its satellite at Mudon with a total of 65 planes." And theres another field mentioned at Lampang.
Please dont hate me for posting too much. (Read that site info...is the mission maker paradise, can now make a full realistic early Burma campaing!!)
Awesome work Fabianfred!!
