Bombing

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Bombing

Post by Dr. Foo »

Playing as Axis, I've tried bombing ports, units and cities but the damage is so little 1-2% I just tend to fly recon and bomb airfields were I can sore some big hits on aircraft.

Am I missing something important? Should I be bombing cities more? What's your bombing strategy?

AFAICT, bombing cities and ports is a waste of time. Bombing the Kurresare port as the Germans used to be important, because it allowed a quick sealift into Riga, but that exploit got squashed long ago.

Bombing units in strong/key defensive positions does seem to work, though. Although you do not see many losses, there is often considerable increase in disruption, which increases the likelihood that the ground assault will succeed.
