After further consideration I no longer feel the fighter escort/interceptor rule needs any fine tuning. In my previous posts I expressed the view that the rule nerfed strategic bombing too much but I’ve since changed my mind. After all, bombing raids over inland German targets without escorts was near suicidal, especially during the daylight. It wasn’t until the Allies had deployed long range escort fighters and had outnumbered the defending Luftwaffe aircraft, that the Allies were able to conduct bombing missions without terrible loses. The same is true with the fighter escort/interceptor rule as it stands now and it should stay that way.
Question about online/league play on a Mac
-
Howdy all,
I’ve just discovered the axisandallies.org community and am anxious to get into some online games. Just curious if there is a way to play AA50 online on a Mac (other than bootcamp + dual boot Windows of course :-P )? From what I can tell ABattleMap is Windows only.I have a PC but would really prefer to run it on my Macbook so I can take it with me :)
Thanks!

no Mac support. Just PC

You can get Parallels or VMWare Fusion (plus a copy of Windows) and run AAbattlemap as if it was a Mac app. On a MacBook, I recommend at least 2 GB RAM to run it smoothly.

VirtualBox works great and it’s open source (free):
