@Argothair Yeah, a small balance nod I believe to keep carriers from being ridiculously overpowered. 🤔 Maybe at one point in development they acted the same as air bases? Would be a question for Adam & RegularKid.

i haven’t seen or read any strategies, and all of this strategy talk is above my head. there was one very sneaky workaround to my counter, a counter to my counter, if you will. glad it was not found ;)

the luck so far has been very lopsided, especially with my aa missing 0/15 and london was a complete wipeout. it’s an interesting game, let’s see what happens.

@Gorshak i completed my move, in case you missed it due to our conversations here.

@AndrewAAGamer That was my thought, but when I was about to roll to attack, the game set up the attack board for the air assault and put my 1 ftr on at “1” attack and your 4 ftrs at “1” defense. My 3 bombers and 1 tac were placed the left in the “blank” or presumably zero category. Having not conducted a bombing raid in OOB, I was left with the impression that my aircraft were like transports in the air battle–just along for the ride, and possibly taking hits.
