I think that you shouldn’t have to separate out your defending fighters from the SBR. The entire escort rule is there to make it harder to SBR someone.
The only reason that I could see to NOT send your fighters up to intercept would be that you don’t want them getting shot down… but realistically they’d get shot down on the airfields anyways.
My point is that in order to SBR somebody you should really need to be in a perfect position to do so (i.e. have fighter cover) but having to select which fighters intercept the bombers and which defend the zone i think detracts from that alot. Just because you can bring some ground forces with you to attack shouldnt mean that you can SBR at will.
3 Fighters In New Zealand Query

Hi,
Anyone know the basis for the 3 fighters in NZ? I initially thought it was a misprint. Did NZ have a large air force (3 times larger than Australia’s apparently), or is this a Douglas Bader stayed home option (or the rest of him stayed home as well), or perhaps just there to tweak the balance of the game, or some other reason?

A little historical fudging with the setup to make sure the middle of the game has a little more historical flavor perhaps?
And Balance probably.

There is no “New Zealand Air Force” or “Austrailia Air Force.” All of those units are part of the Austailian New Zealand Army Corps. Just think of those planes as ANZAC forces, that happen to be stationed in New Zealand at the start of the game.

Right…
Because NO WHERE on the internet does it say Douglas Bader ever had anything to do with Australia.

ANZAC/ UK fighters maybe….
