Map and other Questions

I found two strategies so far…

1. If my fighters and bombers are massed into one unit for each (i.e. everything came in from one territory) I try to place the Fighters and Bombers in the center of the map about 1/3 of the way in and then use the ground units and helios to flank the enemy and sucker them into the center for an aircraft kill. Once the enemy air units are out of the way I then use the ground units to advance and soak off the enemy attacks with the air units behind them. That way the lower cost/slower units take the hits & use up the enemy’s initiative while my aircraft take the opponents out.

2. I also try to launch a balanced force from several territories with at least 2 fighter units and two bomber units from each territory. This way there are 2+ Fighter units (with 2+ steps) and 2+ Bomber units (with 2+ steps) and then use them to flank and Cannae the enemy. This can be nasty if you can do it from three territories, try it.

Hey Beach, thanks for the tactical strategy tips! I hadn't tried assaulting from different directions until you mentioned it. Very nifty.
I found that 4 cruisers can do a lot of damage to coastal units. The cruiser can attack with its cruise missile. When I had up to three cruisers, I was damaging units, maybe killing one, but when I added the 4th cruiser it became a force worthy of its price. Just cruise up and down the coast and bombard, taking out 3 to 4 units at a time...kind of fun!
