As for the Interceptors/ Escorts, I’m thinking of creating a sub unit for these because fighters were not designed for this type of combat in the game. So here’s my proposal, lets say Strategic Bombers were given another “ability”. Each bomber or IC is assigned three tokens representing an Interceptor/ Escort these are specifically for Strategic Bombing Raids or for IC deffence. their properties would include:
-Escorts/Inerceptors-
1. Attack: 3, Defense: 3, Movement: 6 (6 when using Escorts; Interceptors are stationary.), Cost: $0
2. Cannot attack land units, sea units, they are solely for Air Combat missions.
3. Each Strategic Bomber is assigned 3 of escorts; if destroyed they can be replaced @ 10 IPCs for a set of 3 on Purchase/Repair Units Phase. The maximum being 3 a Bomber can be escorted with IC’s do not have a limit. (still toying around with the idea). =)
4. They retreat with Strategic Bombers they can never go rogue, (they stick to Strat Bombers till the end).
Sample Combat:
-Western Germany sends 1 Strat Bomber (with 3 escorts) to London with the intent of Strategic Bombing.
-London dispatches his tokens to intercept the luftwaffe bombers.
-A battle breaks out in the Air!
3 German Escorts Attack:
@4, 2, 2 - (2 Hits)
3 UK Interceptors Defend:
@4, 3, 4 - (1 Hit)
at this point Germany is asked to continue or pull back…
Germany presses.
2 German Escorts Attack:
@3, 5 - (1 Hit)
1 UK Interceptor Defends:
@3 - (1 Hit)
Bombers continue… AA Fires!
AA Defends:
@5 - Miss
Germany rolls 2 dice: 1st for IPC loss, 2nd for damage.
1st: @3 - (UK Loses 3 IPCs)
2nd: @4 - (UK IC gains 4 damage points)
German Bomber heads home.
(Note: The German Bomber cannot replace the Escorts until they are all destroyed. The UK may replace the Interceptors for 10 IPCs.)
