If you like what I do, subscribe and click the "bell" icon! Playing a game of 8th Air Force. This is part 1 out of 2 parts. Get the game at: https://fortress-games.net/?page_id=231 I did a few small errors which I corrected while playing: 40:20 in the video. I reinforce every Group already on the board with a Squadron. That is not correct. What the calendar is telling you in February 1943 when it says "all rein's +1 Squadron" is that all calendared REINFORCEMENTS arrive each with an attached Squadron. It does not instruct you to put a Squadron on every Group already on the board. 1:36:25 I have bombed 2 Heavy Industries, leaving 7 un-bombed Heavy Industries. But I gave Germany 7 VPs, which is correct, but I also get 2 VP's, for my bombed Heavy Industries. So, the net VPs to Germany is really only 5, not 7 (7 - 2). This occurs a few times during the game. Again I go and make things harder on myself! When placing new luftwaffe groups, empty tracks will ALWAYS be the track where the new group is placed, with the lowest numbered track prioritized. I missed this a few times. When going to phase 2, USAAF refit/manufacture and groups, always place your new groups before doing the refit and manufacture. I did this reversed in the first turns of the game. Please hit the like button, comment and share, it helps me a lot!
