Question regarding SBR, it has not come up before for us.

When sending bombers for SBR and the interceptor combat is concluded, are bombers required to choose a target to bomb or may they decline acting as “escorts” for the bombers that do decide to bomb.

Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 how does this apply.

Situation:
We want to send 15 bombers to bomb a MIC and it has 1 fighter in space, but we only want to use one bomber to bomb and let the other 14 bombers act as “escorts”.

-already posted in the Faq thread.

[Alsch91]

Only fighters may function as escorts.
If you send excess bombers - either strategic or tactical - to act as padding, they are required to go on bombing runs and go passed AA fire once escorts/interceptors are rolled.

[Alsch91]

That’s in both A2 and A3, by the way.  There are a couple rolling and casualty differences, but that much is the same for both versions.

[Auswanderersland]

Righto.  It looks like bombers are forced to bomb target and may not elect to not bomb after going on a SBR.

JJ,

I can’t find my phone.  I don’t remember your phone number.  I fail at life.

/sigh

Sorry Alsch, its a busy weekend(baby showers, drywall, etc.) - I think it would be best to postpone America’s move till Monday.  Things are getting tricky with the allies regarding the multiple threats/fronts we have to consider.

I still have not done all my hypothetical what if battles and they are at just a glance…dicey.  I want solid our favor should you attack.

Thanks again for your patience.
