On th MWoI map I linked above you can, for example, fly a campaign for the P-38s of the U.S. 15th Air Force, which were taking off from Algeria and escorting heavy bombers all the way to northern Italy, Yugoslavia or Greece. For some it could be boring (you can always use time compression to speed things up on the way to target), but to experience the mounting tension of such long-range missions is priceless. As fighter pilots used to say: "Hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror"
And you could not do this on a full sized map of say Northern Italy (maybe 600*300 or so) that has a least a part of the Med on it - with offboard or included distant airfields (like Normandy has)?
And others like me could use a cutout of that map (150-200*150-200) and play there. And time compression is not an option for coops, and I simply don't have the time to play missions that include the chance of failure and last for hours.
