First question: Is it possible to change the direction an aircraft attacks while playing? Right now they always seem to strafe three squares parallel to my front line left to right. Can they attack perpendicular to my front line instead i.e. shooting deeper into enemy territory? Sometimes the alignment of terrain or enemy units would make this advantegous.

Second question: Is there a way to generate a skirmish and specify different units you'd like to add to the available choices? Also, can you add an air strike or off board artillery to the mix? Failing that, is it possible to save a generated skirmish then use the editor to add or change the units and other extra bonus choices (air strike, off board artillery, medics, etc...) If so, how can you do that?

1) Change direction of airstrikes? No, it's not possible.

2) Alter unit selection in Skirmish? Not easily, but there are a couple of ways to do it though:

a) Make sure you have set the correct date to get the units that you want. It's no good setting June 1941 if you want to use King Tigers! Then just keep recreating a skirmish until you get the units you want.

b) Create your own ArmyList.txt file with the unit selections you want, then create a new Campaign folder in Documents/My Games/BA2 and paste your new ArmyList.txt into it. Then use that folder when you create a skirmish (using the Advanced and Default Data buttons).

Two questions: How to change direction of strafing air attack? How to change unit make up in skirmish?
