US Bomber Group Ferry Range

Post by scout1 »

US Bombers can't ferry to PH .... which is exactly what they did in real life ....
Also, no transports for the US on the second turn to transport them to PH .....

What's up with that ?

The game isn’t meant to be a Grigsby-like pointillismistic recreation of WW2 but instead represents it by broad brushstrokes. US transports are limited in deployment, as scenario notes say, to represent the unpreparedness to enter war. An air division is also several hundred planes, so while yes historically you had bombers over in PH it doesn’t fit well within the size/scope of the game, which represents air as a general concentration of effort.
