In Winter you  can Build Units outside of Home Supply Centers, Convert
an unit into another Type of Unit, and Build Fighter Units.

You can convert any unit with a Engineer unit to another unit type. 
If we look at the map you will see USoA has NE ite (Indian Territory);
with the order (Convert N ite to F ite) he creates a Fighter unit in ite.

This season there is no Engineer on a SC outside of a countries Home
SC so no example of a outside build can be shown.  If next Winter
Ghana has just E gha and no Navy he could order Build F Gha gaining a
Fighter unit some distance from his Home SC.

All players, if they wish to do so, can now build a Fighter Unit. 
This unit can capture an unoccupied Neutral SC or move to a friendly
SC up to two areas away from its location.  It can execute support
orders up to two areas from its location, and it can cut all supports
for a stationary unit or a move order, up two Areas away from its
location.  This is a very powerful unit, but it does have a weakness
or two.  Unless it is being ordered to hold it can be dislodged by an
unsupported attack.  It would require two supports to dislodge an
adjacent unit, and it can not move two areas away unless it is moving
to an unoccupied Supply Center owned by its power or the Neutral power.

So get creative and have fun with your new build powers.  Oh! 
Remember how you promised your neighbours not to build an army or
fleet in (so and so) place, you didn't say anything about a Fighter.

With Fighters I wished to stick as close to the diplomacy model as
possible.  You can only do one thing at a time with your fighter. 
Attempt to change location, Support, Damage or hold. Location change
to an adjacent area is also an attack, a location change to two areas
away is not an attack and requires a neutral ,or owned unoccupied, and
uncontested SC destination to work.  No!  You do not order F
War-Sil-Ber, the order is F War-Ber.
   Examples:
   F Ber S A Sil-War notice War is two areas away from Ber
   F Ber-Mun is an attack
   F Ber-War is an attempt to change the location of your Fighter Base
F Ber D A War-Sil  A Boh S A War-Sil, A Pru S A War-Sil are both cut 
F Ber D A War  A Boh S A War, A Pru S A War, A Sil S A war are all cut

Thats right creating a stalemate line in this game will require some
air cover.  F Vie S A War will defeat the Fighter damage move and all
supports are good again.
