OK, so TripleA doesn’t keep track of it so it’s easy to miss, but there is a limit of 3 different bomber locations so I made a comment in game.

I suppose if I build bombers they cannot be placed and are lost IF I still have bombers in 3 different locations before the place unit phase. Seems that’s how it would work.

Oh, and same for Japan. You have carriers in 2 locations, you can never have them in 3 different zones at any time.
