I left the strats hovering over IND, let me know whether you want to try to intercept or not.

[kilroynothere]

Well it still looks just as bad for the Pacific!   

the 2 ftrs and the tac will come up to intercept.

[wheatbeer]

Tacts can't intercept SBR. Rolling figs for expediency.  If you wouldn't have intercepted with just figs, then we'll ignore the result.

[kilroynothere]

Interesting. I thought that tacs can intercept as well. They can scramble, figured they could intercept too.  Weird. I would have still thrown up the two ftrs. So, you lose one strat and I lose one fighter, right?

[wheatbeer]

I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but Krieg said they can't.

And right, we each lost a plane.

[wheatbeer]

Actually what I was looking at was for an older Alpha, so maybe we should double check.

[kilroynothere]

Yeah, sounds good to me.  I haven't checked the forums on 3.5 at all, so unsure of any clarifications. Let me know if you find out anything.

[wheatbeer]

The Larry Harris Game Design Alpha 3 page doesn't say what air units can intercept, but since tactical bombers couldn't intercept in OOB (100% sure about this) I think it would have been listed under rule changes if they could now.

[kilroynothere]

That's what I found too. Makes me start to think about buying more fighters rather than tacs now... I guess I was just confused.  Nothing new!
