@Funcioneta:
But I think the main complaining is about HBs vs fleets. I still think is not so big issue (there are also some techs here and there that counter it and bombers cannot conquer land and bomb fleets at the same time)
I prefer HBs picking best of 2 dices and no escort rules. It lets some space for SBRs and it’s not enough strong to make tech complainers have a solid argument against them
I forgot about that fleet thing… I kept thinking HB was only for SBRs :-o
Yeah if HB can roll 2 dice in battle- land or sea they will be very overwhelming…so the stated change “roll 2 dice and pick the higher one” is best- I stand corrected. :-)
However it is important that if you have 2 or more bombers with HB (using the above rule), then you have to roll EACH bomber separately otherwise it messes up the probability.
Example if I have 3 bmrs with HB and lets say I roll all 6 dice at the same time and I get: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 One could pick the top three die rolls: 4, 5, 6 = 15 damage. Versus rolling each bomber separately- example bmr1 gets: 1, 2 bmr2 gets: 3, 4 bmr3 gets 5, 6. Now taking the highest of these rolls separately yields: 2+4+6= 12 damage!
