Oh?  Isn’t that how we did it the last few times?

Or you mean for the intercept?

Truthfully, I’m very sleepy right now.  I could be missing something obvious, but I thought you made the choice of where to attack after the air battle, don’t you?

Page 17 of the Europe Rulebook seems to back me up.

“After the air battle is complete, or if there were no
defending fighter interceptors, surviving fighter escorts
are considered to have retreated. They don�t participate
in the actual bombing raid, are not subject to antiaircraft
fire, and will remain in the territory until the Noncombat
Move phase. Any surviving attacking bombers carry out
the bombing raid. If the territory offers more than one
target, the bombers may be divided into groups, and each
assigned a specific target”

So it seems the order of operations is the same way it works in TripleA, right?

There’s also this earlier on the same page:

“To conduct a bombing raid, the attacking player moves
his or her bombers to the territory on the map containing
the target(s).”

I think I’ll need an OOL here.  I hit you 7 times.

Well, I need to shut my computer down, so I’m going to roll it through with the standard units lost.  If I win, it won’t matter.  If I don’t, we can roll it out here later.

Ah, is that the accepted protocol?  Good to know.  There’s always a balance between speed and politeness to be struck.

Probably just as well this game is running a bit longer, since Gamerman is still deciding on the final Pacific VCs.

And did Panama as a European VC happen?  I need to check the document again.
