@surfer said in L24 OOB surfer (X) vs AndrewAAGamer (L+60) #1:

I did not realize that in OOB tacs and bombers do not roll dice in air battles.

Not sure why you think that. Attacking units may consist of fighters, as escorts only, tactical bombers, if an airfield or naval harbor is available, and strategic bombers. Defenders may only consist of fighters. All planes attack and defend at 1.

I rarely do bombing so did something make you think that?
