What is a good starting stratgy? What do you try to hit first? One of the things I like is that there is so much to do, just kinda of hard to sort it out. I am starting a long campaign and I just want something of a way to figure it all out

At the start due to the short range of your fighters I tend to a range of targets. In Northwest Europe I go for oil, Chemical and electric power stations. Then target the rail system and area bombing as well. Take your time and work up to long range strikes into the heart of Germany.

Thats my method anyhow!

the biggest and HARDest thing to learn, is it is a long game, take your time, when you get decent weather try and do as much damage as you can, there are many targets that are close in and with in range of your excourts

the AI and the human, player tend to try and stay close to the coast, I really think this may be a bad idea in the new game

as time goes on, you will get stronger and stronger, then is when you got to watch, as you will want to do too much too soon

I don't know how the new game will change things, but at first, I just bombed everything in France as my units build up experience and strength... Then start mixing in some raids deeper.

For targets, I always liked hitting Ports, Electric and Rubber as much as possible.

I'm with Madflava as well, but add Aluminium. I like to hit any industry that has a few big plants. The snag is a couple of them (like Chem) demand a bit of a tour of Ge - like to AGFA at Berlin! (SO I wait a bit for that). Mind you - make that an aiming point for Belin BC night raids, and sooner or later you are going to hit it (slow though, I have missed it with 4 nights big raids before now!)

If you want have fun, why not try the BB raids!
