• On strategic bombing raids, I’m not sure of the maximum that the one being attacked has to pay.
    I Understand that If I do a SBR, with two bombers, both survive, against Russia/Moscow, and I throw a 3 and a 4, Russia has to pay 7.
    But what if I roll a 5 and a 4. Russia pays nothing? because it is over the value of the territory? or does he pay 8, because I went OVER the maximum and it doesn’t matter.

    In classic, which is the board you are on, the damage you can do with SBR is unlimited.  Thus a ‘5’ and a ‘4’ on two bombers would be 9 IPCs.

    In revised, which you referenced in your post, the most you could do with 1 country to 1 territory is the value of the land.  In this case, a ‘4’ and a ‘5’ would be 8 IPC in damage, since you cannot do more then 8.


  • Valendez, it is not The Price is Right and you lose if you go over.

    You do the territory IPC value of damage as the max, anything else was bombing existing rubble.  Your opponent does not get a pass because you rolled well :-)
