Soliciting ideas on air strikes - 4/17/2009 3:23:02 PM

Status: offline 		I am designing a new scenario and I want to achieve the following effect:

Force A performs air strikes against a specific target (e.g. a radar site, a supply depot, major HQ site etc.) and causes enough damage to produce a given effect (effects can be reduced supply, reconnaissance, loss of proficiency etc.).

The trigger for this event, is proving to be very difficult. I tried to use a weak ground unit that can be destroyed as the trigger but no air strike can completely destroy a ground unit not matter how weak.
If the "Force A attacks x, y hex" trigger is used it does not work the way i want it. Even if the Force A does not have air superiority some aircraft will get through to perform the attack and achieve the desired effect no matter how ineffective the strike was.

Any suggestions/ideas how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Something like that. You can work it out.

Depending on the circumstances, you might also want to include some anti-shipping aircraft in the attacking units if the kill still isn't happening fast enough.

Status: offline 		I've never been able to kill ground units with aircraft now matter how weak. Perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Ships however, are an interesting an idea - they do get killed. Will give it a try.
thanks

Status: offline 		Well I stand corrected - you CAN destroy a ground unit with aircraft. It just has to be really weak and the aircraft unit has to be massive (e.g. lots of B52s and B1s). 
I also think (not 100% about this) it may have to be done in a single turn.
thank you all for the help/ideas.

There's no event trigger for "bridge destroyed".
