1.00.07U82 Ground strike causes loss

[PanzerMike]

The German air strike causes 1 loss on the Polish unit in Krakow. But there is no adjacent German unit. I thought that with the new rules, step losses by air strike would only occur if there is a friendly land unit adjacent. Or am I wrong?

I think the first strike can still inflict casualties?

Yes, but I thought ONLY when a friendly unit is adjacent at the time of the strike. Or am I wrong?

I think you are right. The README file of 1.00.06 includes:

Change land units not next to enemy land units suffer no strength point losses from air strikes. An attrition 1 point manpower loss will be taken instead

Change no more manpower loss from air attacks. Air units can only now damage strength on land units next to an enemy land unit and only on the first air strike. Other air strikes still can reduce the effectiveness of the unit and interdict movement.

I'll take a look.
