Regarding the Chinese territories controlled by Japan at the start of the game, I place Japan control markers on those territories when I set the board up. It’s a big help for me when one of those is liberated and the Japan marker removed as, later on, I quickly know who controls it at a glance. If Japan re-captures it, I place the marker back.
Questions about Strategic Bombing

Just want to confirm two things about strategic bombing raids:
- Tac bombers are not counted as escorts.
- Escorts cannot come under AA fire.

1) Correct. Tactical bombers can never be sent as escorts (even with Strategic Bombers) and can only be assigned as bombers to Naval Bases and Air bases. The only time a tactical bomber is involved in an SBR is when it’s being used to bomber those bases. And it only acts as a bomber.
2) Also correct. AA fires only on bombers.

Thanks, I thought that was right but just wanted to make sure.
