Aerodrome is the compact desert map: a few large hangars, workshops, the wrecked bomber in the middle and a control tower, with tanks able to cross the open runway between the buildings. The hangars are the fights people remember, close-range and destructible, with the tank battle outside the doors.
It follows Hamada in the Grand Operation, with the attackers assaulting the airfield.

The hangars are held by Support and Medic squads and taken by Assault players with explosives; the runway belongs to tanks until anti-tank fire from the hangar doors stops them. The bomber wreck is the central cover. Aircraft can strafe the runway but the hangars protect infantry. In the Grand Operation the attack across the runway is the hardest stage of the North Africa campaign.
The archived threads rate Aerodrome as the best of the two North African maps for infantry, and note that the bomber wreck in the centre is the first thing experienced squads fortify at the start of a round.
