Transfer CV planes to land base-Map info

Hiya,

Can transfer CV planes to a land base?

When you click on the CV task force icon on the map show a hex with two planes

Re: Game Processing Speed

AI is way faster than waiting for PBEM reply...so I don't complain.

Way way back in the day I was beta tester for Warsaw to Paris.
Would time the AI turns and send to Vic. AI faster nowadays.

Battle called "Ten days in May". May also be called "Operation Frances Marion".
Involved everything from surround platoon, surrounded company, surrounded battalion.
