Under construction:Strategic Bombing Raid OOB & House ruled method and numbers

This other older way of doing SBR should be explored somehow:
I can think about interceptors able to kill directly bombers instead of letting the attacker choosing to lose his escorts or a bomber (not the wise choice).

@Young:
What can be done to prevent German players from deploying a “Dark Skies” strategy? I don’t want to see it abolished altogether, but there should be something to slow down this gimmicky gambit.
I’ll get it started with the following ideas…
- Bombers conducting SBRs only receive a +2 damage bonus if they have departed from an operational airbase
- During air battles with interceptors, roll 1 dice @1 per bomber formation instead of 1 dice @1 per bomber.
- All hits from an air defence of any kind must be applied to participating strategic bombers first.
Here is a summary table for this special SBR Strategic bomber as a group in dogfight:
- During air battles with interceptors, roll 1 dice @1 per bomber formation instead of 1 dice @1 per bomber.
-Damage to IC is 1D6+2
