BO[mb]

BOMB (Land or Sea)

Bomb is used to drops bombs on a region of sectors or a specific ship number. You bomb from an airport or a carrier. Fighters carry one bomb each and have a maximum range of 40. Bombers can carry upto ten bombs each and have a range of 100. Each plane requires one military to act as pilot. Attacking planes can be shot down by flack which is fired automatically by artillery and explosives located together on land, or by armed nearby ships capable of flack at sea. Any attacking planes which survive the flack are then engaged by defending fighters. The defenders have a slight advantage since they are not carrying bombs and thus are more manuverable.

The BOMB command prompts for all needed input.
