You and Sutts have a fair point there and I actually agree with you. I think a lot of my criticism was about the 'what ifs' and setting strategy aspects that i didn't think was realistically going to be achievable in the campaign - and that the impact of 12 Group in this area could be reflected in other ways.
But, yes, it's a shame we won't be able to script our own missions to simulate being a part of the 'Big Wing' (frustrating experience that I suspect that would be
). But some people may also feel it's a shame not to be able to try (at least once) the German raids from Norway, with maybe slightly changed tactics. People have commented on the Italian bases too. I'm not sure if the restricted map size in this instance is mainly down to the limits of current PC specs or about Oleg's resources/time limits in creating it.
Winny raises some interesting points too.
Good point about future 8th AF situations. I guess that a way will have to be found eventually and I'm sure we'll see things progress and the issues will be solved.
Unfortunately, for now though, no Duxford.
