Etzel -> RE: Is Strategic Bombing worthwhile? (11/14/2020 11:34:18 AM)

The simple answer is: Yes. The Bomber Command (plus later on the US counterpart) is the strongest single weapon you have in your western allies' arsenal. It you use them wisely, they are more deadly than anything else. If you destroy the Mines in France/Belgium (can be done with 2 or 3 attacks after the Wehrmacht has left France for other tasks), it takes 7 turns to rebuild=>28 points lost => 56MPP. In Germany the effect is even bigger. And that means less German tanks and less German bombers in Russia. If you have a good opponent, your single aim should be to keep Russia alive (ok, if Sealion happens, you might have a more severe problem for the moment). You may loose North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East and still win, but not Russia. But there are a lot of other side effects, which are very important too. Just think of it.
