Hi,

You need to assign targets to the bombers during the deployment. IIRC you can also assign a turn for them to make their bombing run.

Regards,

Aye, and when you do plot them during Deployment, just remember that they're not going to come anywhere near your plotted hex. Missing by 6 to 8 hexes seems to be the norm. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

They are pretty devastating when they hit though <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> Useful when trying to assault.

OK, this mean that medium bombers have to be targeted in deploy phase ? Otherwise their can't be used ? <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

That's so stupid.
How am I to know during deployment what hexes I wish to hit?
Sure If I'm attacking a city, I can just obliterate the city, but...

Med Bombers also come in from your side to the enemy's no matter what you do to the air entry settings. they will bomb several hexes in a line. They would be better if you could bring them in diagonally, at least then you would be bombing along the enemy's front line instead of 90 degrees to it. As you can tell I have found limited usefullness to be had from the purchase of Med Bombers. They do they make a mess of what they hit.
