Is there any chance we can get an "Air units" selection in the strategic map drown down menu?
It would be -immensely- useful.
Thanks!

If you hit the 'a' button it should toggle between displaying air/ground units. (Opening the strategic map as it does.) give it a try. I made a few changes regarding air unit deployment. I will try to post it today.

Hi Jeff, the ETO europe konzev scenario would be much more interesting, if the Nations of India and Australia could be added, with an supply entry point south of Egypt, and an US supply entry point in Casablanca from 1942 on. Africa is such a cinch if you play the Axis, because there is virtually no way in the middle east and Africa to get reinforced by supply hexes.

Africa is such a cinch if you play the Axis, because there is virtually no way in the middle east and Africa to get reinforced by supply hexes. The only Allies home nation hexes in the southern regions of the map are in Malta. It allows a British player, provided there are enough resources, to use the early phase, prior to Italy's entry, to bolster positions in the Mediterranean. Taking into account that, historically, Cairo was a big British logistics platform, some of its hexes could be turned into Commonwealth home nation. Probably marking just one hex each would be enough. Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa. Rhodesia? Who goes there may think also of adding a Canadian hex, either somewhere in the UK or at column 1, maybe not far from Iceland. Unfortunately, there is an Europe map with much more "room", but also with about 99% of editing work in front of whoever may want to use it... Even so, some of the above mentioned countries would still need a trick to get represented. One of the reasons why I think, save minor adjustments to the current ETO, any mapping efforts should go on the World versions. The best bet, in my opinion, would be an attempt at finishing the BoW project. It has an e-file, although I guess it would have to be re made using the more recent editor version. It has a World map, small, but small is better than none, and that one I filled in with a decent amount of objectives. It needs (almost) all the natural terrain though, and roads.

I just make commonwealth troops GB units in my efile, saves a whole lot of hassle with no real downside.

I have ANZAC (Army of New Zealand and Canada), Gurkha and Australian infantry in my efile. I don't have an Indian unit, but i would certainly be no problem to add.

When you have the Zoom Map open...you can hit the 'u' key to cycle through the different unit types. I just added that recently.

Followed down the class list, including the two experimental classes. Seemed to be sorting the different classes well. I think Sea Mines are showing with Submarines. Land Mines I don't know.
