Without seeing the image the first question that pops into mind is: Do you have enough oil?

Perhaps you are trying to fly to far?

Limited range...once you click on the unit where it can go lights up...unless you plan to attack.

The Dutch on turn 4 have enough oil to move so that is not it.

If you are trying to attack you have to be in the mode...naval, land, air, strategic and it will light up potential targets.

I'll have to bring up turn. Japs are getting ready to pounce so I want to fly out. Not attack. Just run. When I select the unit and move the cursor away no white line, no OP left indicator. I doubt if they have been getting any supplies but I really can't tell. Too many meaningless numbers mixed in with the one that counts. If supply is need to fly then I don't understand this game at all. It looks healthy and nothing on the unit info box mentions low supply . Just required supply but who knows if it is getting it? Christ he made this so unnece3sarily confusing and cluttered with numbers that are useless and left out the ones we need.

I am having a similar issue. NZ 4/5 tac group on Fiji cannot fly at all (weather fine). 2 oil in stockpile, 1 incoming from convoy, no upkeep. From my reading of the rules and using american planes, it costs 1 oil point for either 1 or 2 point moves, not the 3 that it costs to attack.

I'm moving the air unit fine with 1 oil.

Everyone knows that toy left click cycle through a stack yes?

If I just click fiji the land unit is selected. I need to click it a 2nd time to get the air unit selected.

If there is land, air, and naval you left click twice to get to naval units.

If you left click a 3rd time you get back to land.

Hmm that's quite strange. You see in the image that I do have the air unit selected.

Page 70 of the manual....

Map Selector Icon: The map selector is a semi-transparent white hex
shape when it rests on no unit or when an enemy unit is selected, and
it is a white circle when a unit is selected. If you have a stacked hex
with multiple units, left-clicking cycles through the units and changes
the position of the map selector to show the unit type selected. Selected
units are allowed to move, attack, and do other functions.

This is my only guess why you can't move the air unit.

This is a different system than you are used to. Most games are 1 unit, 1 click, 1 attack. No stacking, no multihex attack. I tried to remove all the micromanagement as possible. But that requires a slightly shifting of what other games all do. The last game to have multihex attack that I played had it so complicated it took like 12 mouse sequences to make an attack from 4 sides.
