I can't tell you how much Luftwaffe blood and gore was spilled going after Gosport, High Wycombe, Thorney Island, Winslow, and Abington until I finally realized (at day 42) that they are "Bomber Command" and "Coastal Command" PRI AF's and not "Sector" AF's.[;)][:@]
No wonder my AS number wasn't going up! Ah well, live and learn...

well, if it makes you feel any better, the LW didn't know either
also, just because they are not FC, does not mean the RAF can not/will not use them to base fighters

been trying to figure out how to help with this info for the player
about the best Idea I can come up with, would be to set up the site name all in Caps ?
so, say, HENLEY would be a FC target, while York would not ???
hmmmm, I didn't know 13 group didn't count for AS score ?

Yes, "all caps" would help notify the noob that something is different and he should check the rule book. Red colored font for BC and CC AF's and purple for Group 13 would be nice.[:)]
Here's the excerpt from the Section 6.0 "Winning the Game", true for all BoB campaigns:

Yes indeed, you wasted all those bombers that crashed into the North Sea on their way home from Scotland [:'(]

no, not wasted, they did there job, would rather have a plane shot down, then crash into the water (that is a waste)
on my end, I can't do anything with color, that is code, but I can put all of the Primary FC fields into Caps, and leave 13 group as is

one reason, I am going along this line, is the bases change in 41, some of the 2ndary fields became Sector fields, some Sector fields became 2ndary, and a lot of new fields come in
