Level Bombers

Post by Warspite3 »

In my last game, I was fighting an AI who was much larger then me. That AI had at least 70% of the cities on this continent and some were big compared to mine. I landed and was able to establish a defensive stronghold but then kept on coming and coming, it was obvious I just could not keep up. I sent reinforcements over turn after turn and lossing were mouning. Then a few turns later, I sent in my level bombers, 3 groups of 10, and 1 group of 8 DBs. So I started a strategic bombing campaign. I bombed city after city, I would hit 3 of them per turn. Then slowly I started noticing less and less units the AI was sending my way. Then I was able to gain some ground. The bombing continued on and AI reinforcements were becoming few and I gained yet more ground. By this time I built 10 more level bombers and sent in another group so now I had 40 total and was bombing 4 cities per turn, nearly knocking out more then 60-70% of its production capability in each city! Very effective operation to take down a larger AI that is seriously outnumbering you. At least you can do some damage until AI fighters come around. This was AI and not AI+, it may not work very well against AI+ since you will have more then 2x the units to deal with.
