European Air War - The Gen

Hi everyone, any news?

My suggested new frontline makes possible some action in the Italian/Austrian front as well. http://mogggy.org/pictures/TWFtargetlayoutFrontline.jpg Regarding the Italian front, I have managed to gather some information; one page explains the situation of the Italian airfields and their location fr...

Sorry Ed, accidentally knocked out a bit of your text when editing the post. Re ships etc. I'm sure you and Ray are right. Marginal differences between basic appearance of WW1 and WW2 ships etc. It doesn't matter. Minor differences in the material's echoes, low speed, and the lack of protection to ...

I know it's a lot, but I've seen the objectives and an interesting one came to mind: to protect or destroy them, depending on which side you choose. It would be forts like Vaux and Douaumont. Fort de Douaumont was the largest, strongest, and most modern fort in the ring of defenses protecting Verdun...

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention this. During the first two years of aerial warfare, especially in conflicts like World War II, heavy machine guns were mainly used as defense against low-flying enemy aircraft.

It's the best I could find, and I've also included a short description to help guide you Zeppelin hangars were constructed with a large internal structure made up of heavy wooden or steel beams and trusses, reinforced with diagonal braces to withstand wind and support the huge arched roof; the exter...
