Hi Ouldy1 and Hubert, Thanks for the kind replies. I can see now where my reading of the manual went wrong: On page 72 it says under 'Strategic Bombing', 'Fighters, Tactical Bombers, Bombers and Carriers can attack resources...', two paragraphs down it then says, 'Bombers can inflict damage on resources even if there is a unit positioned on top of them.' I read this as, 'All of the above can inflict damage on resources even if there is a unit positioned on top of them.' Taking 'Bombers' to mean Fighters, Tactical Bombers, Bombers and Carriers. What you are saying so (and the manual too :-) is that only Bombers attack the underlying resource if it has a unit on top of it. Fighters, Tactical Bombers and Carriers attack the unit on top of the resource. One more question about this: What about Medium Bombers? I'm looking at turn 1 of the '1939 World War' scenario in 'Assault on Democracy' and attacking Krakow with the Medium Bomber on grid (182, 75) this seems to only attack the unit. Medium Bombers act like Tactical Bombers in this regard then? Is that right? Thanks for your time guys!

Hi, Started learning how to play this again and don't seem to understand strategic bombing. It says in the manual that when an enemy town is occupied/defended by an enemy unit a bomber will attack the underlying town and then (according to some chance) the unit in it. I've tried a couple of attacks with a bomber on a town (at the start of the big ww II scenario) and the unit on it get's damaged but the town never does, unless I make the unit leave the town (by using other forces available to me) and then attack the town. In that case I clearly always see the town loose some strength points. Is this broken? or what am I missing here?

Hello Bill! Thank you for your reply. Good to know I'm understanding the manual correctly. Marvin

Hi, I'm having a hard time understanding supply. If I look for example at tile (179,73) between Breslau and Prague on the first turn of the '1939 world at war' campaign playing as Axis. The supply value (by pressing 'S') given there is 6. It is surrounded by two cities with supply 10? The manual says that upon entering a mountain tile the supply value is reduced by 2 which would make 8. Why is it 6. I don't get it?
