The Mine Mission problem

[PandaKnight]

In one of my 2.2 files, I discovered that I could not survive past month 2 because the Mine Mission spawned in the corner of Australia - two fuel tanks could not get my dropship there. I was, therefore, doomed to failure on that file.

Try to build base in Japan, it should help.

Can a base in Japan reach anywhere?

[wastelandmerc]

No, but its a good thing for beginning. After that build another base in Europe, and you can acess most places.

A japan base only has trouble reaching the southern part of south america... that's pretty good coverage.

Once april rolls around, I tend to build a base in central america and one in northern africa, the latter only having interceptors and radars. Then either in april or may, I put a base on the south pole, as an intercept/research base(because eventually my main base can't hold more researchers, I start recruiting them at the south pole when I have 30 in mainbase).

6 radars each at my central america and north africa bases gives me 100% radar coverage. Might be a bit over the top, but who cares.
