ORIGINAL: Q-Ball On the Luzon B-17s....at start, the USAAF generally has more bomber units than bombers. Wouldn't it be easier to fly other 4E units to India, and disband the Luzon units? Eventually those bombers will be back in the pool and you can deploy them. You may actually have full-strength bomber units at that point! Would save the PPs That was my thought too, but I do want to use them to raid some ports initially to slow down Japan a bit, or at least get them to send fighters to some spots. So I am torn. I am not sure how long an air bridge will be in existence to fly from SRA to India that could accommodate B17s, so that means shipping from East Coast, to Cape Town and there to India. A long trip. The Philippine B17 can get there a month sooner. I am not 100% versed in off map movement. I read the manual, remember a fair number of tips from Bullwinkle and NYgiants, but for the life of me I can't find rough movement times from area to area or off map location to on map entry point. You can easily fly some units to India in December; Hawaii--Canton Island--Suva--Brisbane--Darwin--Soerbaya--Trincomalee. You don't really have to wait for planes to repair, you can just disband them. Much faster than shipping to Capetown, plus a sub can't get them. Shorter range units have to be shipped, but on Dec 7 in most scenarios there is a Fighter Group and Bomber group in Eastern US ready to go
