Bombers and artillery

[General 6 Stars]

Krieg. Turn order 5 says bombers attack
Do they get to kill any unit they pick before artillery fire at them ? Turn 6 card is artillery fire at bombers. If true funny how bombers are amune when entering a territory but not figs. Never seen a game where anti don’t fire first. Bombers ain’t that high other wise miss targets more.

Yep. They fire at the ground units first before the AA guns fire back. Thus, attacking a territory with a lone AA gun defending it and attacking that AA Gun gives a decent chance of not getting shot at.

Ha. Bad enough Germany loses artillery.

Funny. We been playing art fires first on bomber forever. Be nice if it was reworded fs bomber before and art shots.

Ok. Thank you

I don’t quite understand this statement. The cards could not be more clear:
Card 04 - Antiaircraft Fire Fighters
Card 05 - Bombers Strike
Card 06 - Antiaircraft Fire Bombers

D-Day has got to be the most simple rules to play of all the Axis and Allies versions. All you have to do is follow the cards in sequence; you barely have to read the rules.
