Canary and Azore islands and super bombers

[Marky]

just a quick question. are the azores and canaries etc modelled and would it be possible to develop a super bomber like the Amerika Bomber that could hit New York etc?

the eventual plan was for the Amerika bombers to be based in the azores or the canary islands i cant remember which

You can easily add those islans via the editor and create your superbomber via the editor as well.

Nazis attacked (landed near) New York with 4 dudes off a sub. They were hung. Could we add that to SC-2 to keep it historical?

I'd call this the "anti-Bunta" on our shores technology.

The real Azores in WWII story

[Marky]

ahh yes the editor, forgot about that

Not until August 1943? I assumed the Azores had come into action before that.

You can add the islands but you'll also have to place a city so you can op move an air unit to it. And a port. An event script could transfer control from Portugal to UK, say 20% chance per turn after June 1943 or whatever. We can always consider enhancing the default campaigns with stuff like this as we go along. Similarly, an event could transfer control of Spanish ports to German control for U-boat resupply. Lots of ideas.

You are saying that a port can be transferred to Gernan control without control of the adjacement city being transferred?

Would this allow for Allied subs to get free experience by attacking the German controlled Spanish port, without bringing Spain into the war? Perhaps, an unintended consequence that modders need to be aware of.
