Here’s my line of thinking, The original rules for SBR’s seem well balanced however, the popular house rule of escorts and interceptors (what ever your rule is) have made SBR’s very costly and scare players from even attempting them. We all wish to have our own escort / interceptor house rules because it would be historicaly realistic however, Britian and Germany not bombing each other is definitely not historicaly acurate. This is why a bomber should do more than 1 IPC of damage if they survive AA guns and enemy fighters. Lets balance this once and for all…… how do you introduce escort / interceptor rules to SBR’s and still risk you’re bombers without being called CRAZY?
I have never played a game where 1 power sent 4 bombers in a single turn but I understand your system and its not bad.
We sometimes play with a guy called HB because he only want to play USA and he only like to focus on buying ridiculous numbers of bombers. His knowledge of various bomber statistics is amazing. In games i usually see him attacking Germany with 6-8 bombers. He also hates the fact that the game has no A-bombs because he loves to build them even more!
