       Base Landing Weather

       Seems like there needs to be some modifiers for landing.  There
       are currently no modifiers to landing base wx no matter what the
       zone 1 wx is.  Doesn't seem right.  If I roll any wx in zone 1
       (other than clear), seems like there should be a negative mod
       for the base wx.
       Ex: I enter zone 1 and roll 100%.  Before landing, I roll for
       base wx and (other than mission month dates) there is a very
       good chance of Good wx at base.  Should be more of a chance for
       Poor or Bad?

       Fully agree.
       UK weather could can be atrocious.
       I worked ahead on that one and created FIDO alternate bases.
       (check FIDO if you havent already plse)
       Maybe someone feels like creating a table?
       If base socked in, either risk dangerous landing (due hilly
       terrain in 6 Group sector even more dangerous) or fuel allowing
       divert to FIDO installation.
       If shot up/low fuel diverting direct to FIDO is allowed after
       crossing channel.
       Maybe a roll to see if other Gp basis are ok. (R/T Info was
       given normally by homebase of suitable alternates IF any)
       E.g.1. I return my lanc to my 5Gp base, bad weather and divert
       to 1 Gp hoping for better weather with last fuel box.
       E.g.2. Same scenario, now stirling 3GP. Then with last fuel box
       I logically divert to Woodbridge with (due FIDO) MUCH better
       chance of safe landing.
