Any allied player who flies his bombers, especially at extended range, against heavily defended targets isn't a good player (without fighter escort).

The two most important assets to the allied player is his CV fleet and his USAAF/RAF bombers. Flying them at extended range and/or against heavily defended targets with NO fighter sweeps and fighter escort is the same as losing the game.

If the Allied player properly uses his high-altitude sweeps and flies the bombers after a few days of sweeps can't be stopped.

God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal.

I would love to tell you the situation the Allies are in, where and when, but I can't do that at this point. Thanks for your input though.

Thanks, but that's really not an option at this base.
