Moving air forces

Post by henri51 »

OK, I will read the manual as soon as I get the hard copy book.

But the management of air forces is a bit foggy to me.When you move them, there are blue and yellow hexes that are explained in the guide, but I don't understand what it means by "other". Should I move them only to a blue hex? Let us say you move them any old way, then how do you track who is where, and does it make any difference, as long as the fighters are closer to the action? Will they stay under the former HQ? What happens if you mix up US and British air forces in an airbase)I think some are already mixed...).

Blue just means the airfield is under the same air HQ as the planes. If I move planes to a non-blue airfield, I simply change the airfield to align with the HQ of the planes I just moved there.
