Hello Imperious Leader,
5. Air Mission: Counter Air
So my suppressing fighters, fight one round against the potential DAS fighters and the IDs. Whats my benefit of doing this? Its like a normal combat move in wich i retreat after the first round of combat.
But you are killing enemy planes, which you could not have been able to kill before and without fighting the land units the DAS flew from.
But I could kill them in a normal attack, as i read it, no unit can fire back at the planes, except ID´s and other planes, so the land units dont fire. So i´m allowed to do one combat cycle with my planes only, after that i have to pull back, because there are no attacking land units. So this would be a legal and normal attack. See Page 9: Land Combat: Retreat Decision
At the end of a land combat cycle, if only one side has land units the other side must retreat.
6.Air Mission: SBR vs Night Bombing:
Night Bombing is great and its ABSOLUTELY safe, but i think its overpowered. It hurts more NOT to deploy units then to loose some ipcs (wich cant be more then the value of the land).
So the night bombing should ONLY reduce IPCs.
In both situations ID defense is still rolled and remember damage is 1/2 rate
Draft 4.0 says nothing about it: Page 13 Night Bombing
Only Bomber may perform this. Identical to SBR except Infrastructure Defense do not fire against them
and no aerial combat occurs. Each Bomber may only choose to reduce unit production capacity. So there is no countering at all, and there is nothing about the half rate
7.National Advantages:
I love em and i hate em, wich is great! I have the feeling the russian advantages are pretty brutal. The get so many units for free, that it is nearly impossible to take them down.
Are they play tested really well?
You talking about the “Siberian army”?
Well you are right, its not this drastic as i thought: 5.Conscripts; 10.Red Guard; 12. Soviet Militia (whats happening if he doesnt have the money next turn?)
