IIRC the devs mentioned that frontline is replaced automatically. I experimented with it 2 weeks ago and it moved, again IIRC. Try it. I thought I mentioned this in my previous posts. I can be mistaken of cause, will try to find my test missions later.

Great idea! I thought that we have to delete only one bp and that gave me headache ))
Later I think it will be possible to script removal of 1-2 af only.
BTW the greatest solution would be to have bp side changed automatically if a submission loads new frontline leaving the bp to enemy! That would be an excellent piece of code! C# geniuses are called for help

I think placing everything in code gives more flexibility for a larger war/campaign where everything has to be automated (many battles for many cities and airfields). But adds complexity to coding. For a small mission with 5-8 submissions it would be easier to use FMB imho both for frontline and spawnpoints if possible.
