Anniversary Errata Optional Rule: Escorts and Interceptors

[Krieghund]

@gen-manstein Sorry, I don’t understand your question.

@krieghund @Cernel I’m aware of the error and debated pulling the video and reshooting it but decided to edit that segment so that there is no mention of casualty selection and then making an annotation in the description box. I will mention that in my 12th video as well.

I had just finished re-reading the original (2000) Pacific manual and got my wires slightly crossed.

As regards that Panther answered and not krieghund, all I can say is that his answer was just after Panthers at the time of the posting of this video. It seems to have been deleted.

I appreciate your attention to detail @Cernel

@cernel I played three games against forum members that made a point to do this as Germany while I was the allies. After the final repetition and significant impact from the aforementioned, I had to insist on Escorts and Interceptors.

I consider it less significant than the USA bomber strategy but I’m confident enough to make it an axiom of my own axis strategy …and share it in a video, obviously.

The escort and interceptor rule is required for a fair game IMHO. Moreover, no bombing strategy succeeded in eliminating a country’s ability to build tanks and weapons during ww2, and certainly not without getting through fighter screens first.
