If an Italian bomber attacks the Malta Convoy zone in where you have 3 Supply Tokens and 1 UK Fighter, his attack value is technically 6 with the Fighter having a defense value of 5. This is of course quite absurd that a slow bomber would be able to attack a Spitfire and have a stronger attack value. Has there been a complimentary rule on this in order to reduce the bomber attack value to well below the Fighters value to reflect the very slim chance of success

Sea Mines and Convoys
-
If sea mines are placed in the SZ of a convoy when can they be detonated? Is it necessary for a unit (friendly or enemy) to pass through the SZ (or end its movement there) to trigger the detonation? That is: if no sea unit passes through an SZ with a convoy, does placing troops in the convoy not trigger the detonation?
Thanks. -
A sea mine can be detonated against any ship that enters the zone, which includes transports deploying there. Only newly-arriving ships/transports are subject to sea mine attack. Units already present when the mines are placed do not allow the sea mine to trigger, nor are they affected should a later ship/transport enter the zone.
