Use of Aircraft in JTCS

[Jason Petho]

These are the house rules regarding on-map aircraft I am using for the von Earlmann campaign I am running:

7. PLANES – Each sector has a set of ON-MAP bombers. Some sectors have more than others. These are intended for you to bombard difficult targets close to the front line. The exception is if your reconnaissance aircraft (which can operate ANYWHERE in your sector) has found a worth target behind the lines. If so, then your ON-MAP bombers are free to engage. Regardless of what you bomb, once you bomb you ABSOLUTELY MUST return the bombers to the edge of the map (WEST side for the Germans, EAST side for the Soviets). After they reach the map edge, and remain there for a few turns, they may reacquire their bombing status at my discretion (this is to simulate returning to an airfield, rearming and returning for another sortie – or – that another sortie has arrived).

If I see the bombers are abused, the will be removed. No questions.

Here is a good reason to set up your AA assets!!
