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.
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.
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.
Righto. It looks like bombers are forced to bomb target and may not elect to not bomb after going on a SBR.

JJ,
I can’t find my phone. I don’t remember your phone number. I fail at life.
/sigh
Sorry Alsch, its a busy weekend(baby showers, drywall, etc.) - I think it would be best to postpone America’s move till Monday. Things are getting tricky with the allies regarding the multiple threats/fronts we have to consider.
I still have not done all my hypothetical what if battles and they are at just a glance…dicey. I want solid our favor should you attack.
Thanks again for your patience.
