Don, That is a most convincing argument for the transport inversion reasoning in 33.74G. I see you put a lot of thought into it. I have to agree, despite the...

Here's a quick and easy question: When apportioning losses to a bomber force due to the defender's SW dice roll, do you only consider bomber AAF and strategic...
... Yes. For the defender's SW dice roll, only bombing AAF and SAC factors can be eliminated or aborted [because that's the only stuff bombing the target]. ...
... One of the next ULTRAs deals with German bombing of Britain, with examples that can help you pin down exactly how this works. Think of it as the Flak...
One possible typo in the redeployment by air transport rules, and one question: First, I think there is a typo in 28.36B. For SR, the units must begin the...
Some information about Russian Winter attritions appears in this or that post, however it's a bit confusing for me. I'm playing Russia. It's the end of the...
Yes. All the Axis losses from Russia's winter attrition must come from near the front (within three hexes of an attritioned unit). So even though the Axis...

Ok thanks guys. The rule itself is not difficult or unclear. It just wasn’t intuitive to me because I wasn’t aware that that was how bombing raids were...
I didn't know about the new air-range modifiers (where first breakthrough is a modifier). If the allies get -2 ASW, and another -1 for air range in 1940, the ...
