In my current attempt I notice that I am unable to build an airbase in Kent,south east England which is a disadvantage when the French have one in Dunkirk.In addition it is 1925 and I seem to have skipped early torpedo bombers unlike the other nations.Still it all adds to the challenge,just the Kent issue seems strange.

Hi Linnet, Sorry but that's one of the game's foibles. You only get to assign bases to existing "major naval base" locations, so SE England misses out ("What's that? Dover is a thing you say?! And what the hell are all these Cinque Ports all over the place?!") badly... I suspect it's another symptom of the game's roots as an evolution of a WW1 Naval only sim? Of course, 1930s reality could easily produce dozens of airfields all over the place, hosting literally HUNDREDS of aircraft, but then these would tend to marr the splendid naval action rather? The game is not, in my opinion, terribly good at dealing with aircraft so I mostly play 1900-1920s games myself. Alan

Thanks Cormallen,I was just thinking it would be historical to build an airbase there bearing in mind all the famous airbases like Biggin Hill.In addition it is 1930 and I can now start building torpedo bombers at last.My regret really is I only found this game a couple of months ago,
