Airfield

A flat strip of reinforced ground, control towers, fuel depots, and hardened revetments — the Airfield is deceptively modest for what it unleashes. From this base, strategic bombers take off on missions that can reduce entire districts to rubble in a single pass. The doctrine of strategic bombardment, proven over Hamburg, Dresden, and Tokyo, makes the Airfield one of the most powerful buildings in the Modern Age: it projects destructive force deep behind enemy lines without committing ground troops. Air superiority established from this field also neutralizes the opponent's Airfield and Airship Hangar. Defend it with anti-aircraft units and keep fuel stores close; a grounded air force is no air force. Strike first, strike deep, and the ground war beneath you becomes dramatically easier.
