They sound good. I’ve always just played by the book, but I will have to see if I can get a group willing to try these revised rules.

2 things:

1: Are you sure the Superfortresses aren’t too strong? Then again, it is historically accurate.

2: what happens as you lose tanks with the Ger. heavy tanks?
I know you tested all these new rules, and I’m sure you made a decision. I assume that the first is a heavy tank, and then every 4th after that.

I like the idea of making the fighters more powerful. I never thought the range was enough of a benefit to killing a plane the first turn.

I like the fact that the map is easier to read, though i did like the blow-up zones, but i guess the cards will do. You can now tell britan and japan apart without having to stare at it.

As for the lack of trays, i recommend getting small tackle boxes, like for fishing. you can find them the size that the ones in the old version are, and they have lids, and are more durable.
