I would just start out with no AB +1 bonus move for all plane in combat and non combat. Play some games.

Another option to make up for the lost 1 move is to let up to 1 or 2 or 3 planes scramble into a territory next to it. Limit only 3 planes or 1 airbase scramble per territory.

The 1 less move will slow the game down. Its how far you want to go.
Good Luck.

@ShadowHAwk said in Limiting air power:

Might make airbases less powerfull. The idea of adding 1 extra range to the attack ranged of a plane does help a lot making the pacific island suddenly pretty usefull to capture.

And well limitation can also be done by players no need to mod for it.

Cheaper airbase will give the scramble option in some areas too to protect smaller fleets.
Granted some islands only had strips so 1 plane could only scramble but its what you want in your game.

Easiest way to test this would to be not give planes an extra move from an airbase. Leave airbases and still buy them at a cheaper cost and just have them with built in AA D@1 up to 3 planes on a SBR attack and can scramble 3 planes into a sz with naval battles. For every 2 damage (6 max) on airbase, 1 less plane can scramble.

The bomber for me is to strong. But some will disagree which is fine. Give a Bomber a movement of 5 ? 6?

Possible. I would perfer a slide out drawer of some sort. Then push back in under the dice box. You can make dice box smaller too and have same roll out drawer for sides.
You would need to raise height of table for this but this would help with reach based on sides smaller

I have a list of commanders that we use in my game. Been using them for over 3 years now.
I can post list if you want to see it. Couple names need to be removed to maybe another name.

This is are setup. Ill try this in a pattern.
Won’t line up correct on page here
It be one side
Ger ussr japan

Italy FEC Anzac

UK USA on Europe side end
USA China on pacific side end

Another thing is we have both sides going at the same time
with dice boxes and casualty boards on each end.
This allows each player to sit at there country based on room. I’ve seen to many games
where Germany plays on Italy’s side.
When we play again Ill send you link to when we live stream games if you want.
More than welcome to come see the setup.
Maybe big map not your choice.

The only country that has to reach to the other side is Japan. Most Japan players will sit on
other side of map to study the map whether it’s 4f or 3f.

Here’s my 12x5 table with 8x4 map. Ain’t ever gonna go smaller unless. Have 2 of theses.

Allows 3 people to sit on each side and 1 on each end if need be.
Less chipping.
You can see more of what’s going on on other side of map.
Things stand out more.
For guys like me that can’t see lol
Depends on how many pieces in your game.
Mine over 600
