Attacking a Full Bridge Hex by Air

[HirooOnoda]

Well I can tell you that the LGBs that the USN used to attack bridges in Viet Nam in '72 only needed one plane and one bomb during the Linebacker II strikes.

Now imagine 36 Su-24s, each with 8 x 1000 lb LGBs.

I'm sorry, those bridges are toast.

Well, - one sortie = one brdige, then this makes it really easy then. Simply destroy the key brdiges before the game starts and maybe remove or make one Air Sortie per Bridge hex unavailable for a turn.

Call it silly, but it would then give a rational for all those SAM units the WP had yet failed to show up on the map.

What is silly is to think that units like the Su-24 would be used to hit front-line troops given that they were deep strike fighters like the F-111. Bridges would be a top target for Su-24s. It is unrealistic to think that all those NATO troops would have a free-ride to the front over all those pretty rivers in Germany and Holland.

It would make the engineers more important in the game also. Right now they usually get used as front-line troops.
