• How does the strategic bombing work with the IC? Can you make it so the opposite power can not build any units?


  • Strategic Bombing occurs when a player send his Bomber to an enemy’s IC.
    When this happen, the Bomber rolls a dice and deal that many damage to the IC. Note that you cannot dea more damage than twice the Territory value

    In other word, Strategic bombing on Karelia cannot exceed 4 (Karelia is worth 2 IPC)

    When an IC has been bombed, the owner of the IC has to repair in order to build new troops. In the case of Karelia, he needs to repair at least 3 damage in order to make ONE unit. He needs to repair 4 to build 2 units.

    The only way I can see a player not being able to build is when he doesn’t have enough IPC to repair all the damage counter on his country.

    hope this helps

    EDIT : Each damage marker on an IC cost 1 to be repaired. In the example of Karelia, if there are 4 damage markers on the country from Strategic Bombing, Russia needs to pay 1 IPC per damage

    @Talkzic:

    Yes and no.

    As Omega mentioned, you place damage markers on the enemy’s industrial complex to represent the damage inflicted by your bombers. (note, you may only damage the complex to double the territory’s value, so Germany could take 20 damage, but Italy only 12.)

    Your enemy must buy down the damage to build units there.

    Example:

    Germany has 18 damage on it.  In order to build one unit, the German player must purchase 9 Damage to bring the damage markers to 9. (10 Territory Value - 9 Damage Markers = 1 Unit allowed to be built.)

    Now, let’s pretend that Germany only has it’s capitol.  Last round they collected 10 IPC.  During the course of the game, you did 18, 19 or 20 Damage to Germany’s Industrial Complex.  Since they can only pay 10 IPC to repair, the best they can achieve is buy down their damage, they would not have enough money left to purchase even an infantry unit.

    Therefore, yes, it is possible to Strategically Bomb (SBR) your enemy to the point they cannot build units.
