@manincellv:

Its unclear in Alpha +1 whether the interceptor hits are applied to bombers only and not to escorts? Where did this come from?

It came from the Powers that Be.  Specifically, Krieghund and Larry Harris.  Interceptor hits are assigned to bombers first, then escorts only if bomber are dead and hits remain to be assigned.

@leddux:

can you upgrade the minor complexes to major status paying the 20 IPCs while still neutral?

No.

They changed that rule.

I used to live in the Houston suburbs a while back.  Up on the north side, just north a Humble.  I sure wish that I could be there for a FTF AA game though.  Y’all have fun.

@Omega:

The optional rules of Revised were ridiculous. I mean, every allied country had decent rules (and UK having probably the best with free IC and Joint Strike), and the Axis probably had the worst. Kamikaze anyone? :)

To be more historically correct, maybe the rules were correct. But I have to agree with the post of another member. If we were to do a historical game, we would have to take into consideration the attack/defense of every unit in the game, which would make the game far too complicated.

If one wants to play with joint strike, he should do so in in-house game

kamikaze could be strong
imagine a nice lonely carrier with 2 fighters on it with no place to land

worth a fighter?
