Hi all,
I am starting this thread as a place for any questions regarding the following part of the upcoming WitP Admiral's Edition:
- The map.
- Bases.
- Production.
Questions and comments invited! I will do my best to answer any questions.

Is the fundamental map structure the same in the sense that present art and pwhex files can be used?
Was an off map movement system implemented? If so, what are the entry/exit points?
Was any sort of pwhex editor created? Will existing pwhex editors work?

Any new Weather related changes ?...Typhoons....Monsoons.
No unfortunately. We had hopes. And we even had a real world weather guy 2stepper signed up to help us at one point but - long story short - didn't happen. But I think some aspects did get pulled out of the code and into the pwhexE.dat file. Andrew is best to answer these questions over on the map thread.

Coal?
Light Industry?
Will Suplys still move across water between bases if their close enough like in WiTP?

Andrew, since resource and oil hexes no longer produce supplies and fuel, where do they come from? I read that there will be refineries, but what else?

Ooh - I've got a zillion questions - well 5 for now & maybe more later. You might not be able to answer them all yet...
1. What are the new terrain types that are implemented and what are their effects?
2. There seem to be new communication lines (e.g. minor & major roads). Can you list them & describe their effect one ground & supply movement?
3. From what I've seen AE is more based on CHS than stock. Have changes been made to make oil, not resources, the limiting factor for the Japanese economy again?
4. Can you explain exactly how "Light Industry" and "Oil Refinery" work? E.g., what do they require in terms of oil/resources and what do they produce in terms of fuel/supply?
5. Any changes to how aircraft factories upgrade?

Will there be production for the Allies much like there is for the Japanese right now?

No, apart from what is already in the stock game (some on-map aircraft factories).
The way I see it is that the players represent the theatre commanders, so the Allied commanders (i.e. Nimitz, Macarthur, Mountbatten) don't run the Allied economy. They just get given stuff.
The Japanese theatre commanders also happen to run the government, so they get more control.
