• ah yes, no prob, just carry along and in the end there will be 1 figh and 1 tac on the carrier. :)

    i will copy paste the Strat bombing rules from alpha 2 here, this is the first time i am intercepting and getting bombed in Alpha 2 ;)
    So lets get i right.

    8. Strategic Bombing Raids procedure:
    • Escorts fire @1, and interceptor casualties are immediately removed.
    • Bombers fire @ 1 and interceptors fire @ 2. Remove bomber and interceptor casualties (escorts may be taken as casualties only after all bombers are eliminated).
    • Surviving bombers are assigned a specific target (IC, airbase or naval base) if more than one type is in the territory.
    • The target fires its AA defenses at the attacking aircraft - @1
    • Surviving bombers attack their target, looking for the highest number possible.

    When bombing, each Strategic bomber rolls one die and 2 is added to each die result, giving the total number of hits the target will receive. Gray chips are placed under the target for each hit received.

    Tactical bombers
    Tactical Bombers can also conduct bombing raids. They are limited to attacking only naval bases and airbases, however. Other wise they follow the exact procedure as strategic bombers presented above. When bombing they roll one die. The number rolled is the number of hits the target receives. Do not add to the dice roll when bombing with tactical bombers.


  • So it would seem that Tacs attack interceptors on @1 and can only bomb Airfields and Naval Bases.


  • You are correct I just reread the alpha 2 rules prior to your post.


  • I am going to assume that you can only scramble your planes?

    so 3 fgtrs fire
    DiceRolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 23@1: (1, 3, 1)


  • 2 hits kill 2 UK fighters with 1 remaining
    the tac and bomber fire at 1

  • no hits
    tacs bomb AB
    DiceRolls: 2@6; Total Hits: 22@6: (1, 4)


  • there were no hit, but its only the bombers that get shot at by the AA


  • for total of 5 damage out of 6, ab unoperational.
    with loss of bomber by germany.

    That is kinda crazy how this all works, not sure if I like the bombing or not it looks to be very risky.

    I thought all the planes get shot at since the AB has it’s own anti air defense? and then the aa gun shots at fighters?


  • no hits by subs

  • the AA only shots in battles on the ground, the Escorts leave before the bombing is done, and therefore its only the 2 Tacs that get attacked by the AB’s AA, as i understand it. Im not to fond of the stratbombing, as it is really risky, and can end in disaster pretty quickly.

  • I know I was feeling pretty good about Japan and Germany prior to the Denmark Dilemma (sinking of 9 trans) which I have named it. I thought I try and take UK and then have Japan role with transports and navy. I have to think about this one. I will try to post before it gets to late.

    How has the pace been so far? I don’t feel to rushed. I get to post in the morning or during my lunch break for moves and then check it at night.


  • im fine with the pace. as i am in europe there is a time difference of about 6 hours or something. But its pretty smooth. i can plan moves and so forth in the evening and in the morning. and it seems we are in a really good rythme. As we are both only at around this time, an its 20.00 here in denmark right now.


  • Funny you called it The Denmark Dillema, as i am in fact from Denmark ;)
