I've never played as the Axis player, so I'm certainly no expert on this. But from a quick look at turns 1 & 2 of the scenario, it appears that there are no default air directives for turn 1 for the Axis, so there's no worry about bombing, recon, or other AD's happening unless you as the human Axis player set them up.

You have 2 Tactical bomber units, 11 Recon units, and 2 Patrol units. Just move them to some airfield in the east to get them out of the way.

Thanks Cary, seems like a reasonable suggestion. I'll give it crack and try feedback.
