Will scramble 3 ftr from CPR if Italy attacks z80….most likely will do the same if Germany hits as well. Consult us on casualties in z80 if Italy hits first, we may decide to lose the Anzac air units rather than ships so we hold against Germany.

Question regarding SBR, it has not come up before for us.

When sending bombers for SBR and the interceptor combat is concluded, are bombers required to choose a target to bomb or may they decline acting as “escorts” for the bombers that do decide to bomb.

Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 how does this apply.

Situation:
We want to send 15 bombers to bomb a MIC and it has 1 fighter in space, but we only want to use one bomber to bomb and let the other 14 bombers act as “escorts”.

-already posted in the Faq thread.

[Alsch91]

Only fighters may function as escorts.
If you send excess bombers - either strategic or tactical - to act as padding, they are required to go on bombing runs and go passed AA fire once escorts/interceptors are rolled.

[Alsch91]

That’s in both A2 and A3, by the way.  There are a couple rolling and casualty differences, but that much is the same for both versions.
