6. Frontline - the frontline will move during the series as the Soviet juggernaut begins to roll forcing the Axis forces to retreat back toward Sevastopol and their evacuation fleet.
7. Squad Basing - each airfield type has a limited number of squad steps it may base during a frame. Squads are assigned a homebase for the entire frame and must not use any other base during the night unless it is to refuel and then proceed back to their homebase to replane. If a squad homebase is closed all pilots not stuck in the tower must fly to the Main Operations Base(MOB - F28 & F21) and conduct operations from there for the rest of the night. Any pilots stuck in the tower are done for the night.
•landing strips = 1 step
•grass fields = 2 steps
•small fields = 3 steps
•medium fields = 4 steps
•large fields = 5 steps
8. AI Targets - there will be many AI targets in this series; shipping for both sides will be moving back and forth, while small flights of Il2s for the Soviets will be flying against Crimean targets. These are important targets for points and need to be engaged when possible. Most targets will shoot at you so conduct yourselves accordingly.
9. Closed Fields - field locations closed during play will remain so for the series. They also score points but should not be the focus of attacks for this alone as there are easier ways to score points.
