Alpha +.1 new strategic bombing rules questions

I like the logic of making it hard for Germany to attack both 97 and Greece on G2.

But I don’t think it’s worth sacrificing the transport compared to using the transport to take Persia.

This idea might be more viable in a 2nd edition game with a carrier bid to 98 making it risky for Germany to attack 97 on G2.  But even in that case I’d rather take Persia in order to help the Soviets blitz south faster.

Sometimes we will use British bomber(s) to hit Northern Italy IC.
US bombers based in London often will hit Normandy, S France and France ICs. Sometimes will hit W Germany if German player doesn’t have too many fighters to intercept. Also will hit Germany if Allies control Norway or Novgorod for bombers to land.
If US Navy is doing well in the Pacific, US usually takes Iwo Jima and lands bombers there to pound Japan’s facilities. Often escorted by Carrier planes.

Strangely enough, don’t usually do a lot of SBRs with Axis bombers.

@Detuite:

#6 Can german fighters in southern italy scramble in defence of the italian fleet off the coast.

If you’re playing Alpha+.1, yes.  If you’re playing by the box rules, no, as planes may only scramble from island airbases.

Ozteas 1941 is well reviewed. If you’re comfortable with some players being at peace at the start, that is also worth a look. Starts like round 3 of 1940.

Although if you prefer the simplicity of everyone fighting right away, go to g42!
