Turn 32, Jan 7, 1942.............. The turn started off with my standard nightly air raids on Vladivostok port and other Russian facilities. You may not kill as much, but you do inflict some damage with a much lower risk to the bombers. This should help me continue to gain experience for the crews without worrying about high loss rates or lack of fighter escort.
