on the sbr of japan… my 2 japanese ftrs would have defended against the bombing run since your bomber was unescorted over tokyo. you can:
- scratch the damage if you would not have flown the mission under those conditions, or
- roll my ftrs and see if the bomber is shot down… they hit on 2.
you’re call.
Scratching, wasn’t aware of escorts. So if I had brought 4 fighters with me, you could not have escorted, or would have not elected to escort?

Scratching, wasn’t aware of escorts. So if I had brought 4 fighters with me, you could not have escorted, or would have not elected to escort?
from alpha+2 rules (that you sent me, by the way) :wink:
SBR procedure:
• Escorts (fighters flying with the strategic bombers) fire @ 1, and interceptor (defending fighters) casualties are immediately removed.
• Strategic bombers fire @ 1 and interceptors fire @ 2. Remove bomber and interceptor casualties (escorts may be taken as casualties only after all bombers are eliminated).
• Surviving bombers are assigned a specific target (IC, airbase or naval base) if more than one type is in the territory.
• The target fires its AA defenses at the attacking aircraft - @1
• Surviving bombers attack their target, looking for the highest number possible.The bolded part, to me, makes sbrs almost an afterthought in this game. it’s just too risky if there are fighters present, even if you can send escorts. all it takes is one hit to take down your strategic bomber. now, sbrs against naval and air bases are another matter, and if there aren’t defending aircraft, you can do some major damage there… taking away that extra movement point is critical, especially in an ocean as large as the pacific.
Your choice noted… Japan IC has no damage.
-
Yes. I knew there was a reason I just didn’t engage in SBRs anymore…despite them actually being profitable.

can a mech inf blitz by itself? or does it have to be paired with a tank?
-
It didn’t blitz. It went through Russian controlled E. Poland into German controlled Hungary, which is a legal move without being paired.
I’ve had that fight before (with me arguing it cannot!) and Krieg shot me down.

i know. i’ve had the same argument (and i was on your side). at this point i am totally confused about how mech inf works, so i will concede the point and move on. my bet is that if you posted a poll on these boards and asked people to define how mech inf work, you’d get a myriad of answers. i don’t think there’s much consensus… in another one of my games your move above would be hotly contested, but it’s not a big deal to me.
except… that now i have to play japan. yuck. what a mess…
