Tactical vs strategic bombing of ports

Post by Etude »

Both Ground attack directives and Strategic bombing directives allow you to attack ports. From what I understand from the manual ground attack on ports seems to cause disruption , interdiction and damage to freight, while strategic bombing basically causes structural damage to the port. But which one to choose? I'm currently about 20 turns into the full 1943-1945 and as I'm playing the Allies ports in Italy are a big focus for me. I want to stop Axis supplies coming into the ports. Yet both ground attack on ports and strategic bombing on ports seem potentially effective. I'm confused. ;)
