<r> Week 63<br/> <br/> 2nd round of battles.<br/> <br/> I hit the main German defenses.

You have to be careful when attacking this units due to possible German reserve activation. <br/> If you try to use o...

<t> I was reading the manual and re-remembered this. I guess it applies to both RAF and USAAF?<br/> <br/> Figured it would make a big difference in bad weather. Which is why I referenced Owls, they hunt by sound; not sight as most people believe.<br/> <br/> Was wondering if anyone had observations o...
