SAS has five maps to choose when creating a campaign: a Pacific Map, and, since version 1.1, two Mediterranean and two Atlantic maps.
The map size is huge - over 28 million square nautical miles, stretching from the US West Coast to Singapore, and from Brisbane in the south to the Aleutians in the far north.
The hex size is 96 nautical miles.
36 bases are available for selection:
Notionally allied (the allegiance can be changed), there are :San Francisco, Pearl Harbor, Puget Sound, Brisbane, Darwin, Fremantle, Townsville, Port Moresby, Efate, Noumea, Fiji, Samoa, Palmyra, Wake Is., Johnston Atoll, Dutch Harbor, Bora Bora and Kanton.
Notionally on the Japanese side (the allegiance can be changed) there are: Tokyo Bay (actually several ports with combined ability), Truk, Singapore, Rabaul, Jakarta, Manila, Surabaya, Lae, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Palaus, Guam, Iwo Jima, Maus Is., Okinawa, Brunei, Hollandia and Biak.
Note that not all of these bases have been selected for the out-of-the-box Pacific1 scenario - eg Puget Sound has been omitted.
The Intro campaign also uses the Pacific map, but has many bases omitted to simplify gameplay.
The map size is huge - over 33 million square nautical miles, stretching from the US East Coast to Archangelsk in Russia's far north west, and as far south as Montevideo in Uruguay.
The hex size is 96 nautical miles.
29 bases are available for selection:
Notionally allied (the allegiance can be changed), there are :Scapa Flow, Liverpool, Gibraltar, New York, Murmansk, Archangelsk, Halifax, Montevideo, Bermuda, Freetown, Reykjavik, Cape Town, Londonderry, Boston, Pernambuco and Norfolk.
Notionally on the German side (the allegiance can be changed) there are: Kiel, WIlhelmshaven, Hamburg, Narvik, Danzig, Lubeck, Trondheim, Stavanger, Bergen, St Nazaire, Brest, La Rochelle and Bordeaux.
All of these bases have been selected for the out-of-the-box Atlantic1 scenario.
This map, added in ver 1.1, is identical to the 'Atlantic' map but with these additions and changes:
Players can use this map in preference to the 'Atlantic' map if they wish when creating new campaigns that are centred exclusively or mainly in the Atlantic.
The map covers over 2.6 million square nautical miles - which at around one tenth the size of the Pacific and Atlantic maps represents a relatively small-scale theatre.
The hex scale is 48 nautical miles
22 bases are available for selection:
Notionally allied (the allegiance can be changed), there are :Gibraltar, Alexandria, Malta, Tobruk, Mers el Kebir, Tunis and Algiers.
Notionally on the Italian side (the allegiance can be changed) there are: La Spezia, Taranto, Venice, Naples, Cagliari, Palermo, Messina, Piraeus, Iraklion, Rhodes, Tripoli, Benghazi, Bari, Trieste and Sallum.
Most of these bases have been selected for the out-of-the-box Med1 scenario, but the French ports, and Bari and Trieste are not included.
This map is identical to the 'Mediterranean' map but includes four new bases: Toulon, Marseilles and Sete for the French player, and Ajaccio for the Italians. This map was added in ver 1.1.
Players wishing to re-create a Mediterranean campaign with serious French forces will want to use this map.
