Thread: WGS - Bomb Loads

  1. #1

    Question WGS - Bomb Loads

    I am looking at the bomb rules and it mentions that "Each scenario with bombing indicates the load of a bomber."

    There are several mentions to the bomb load of the planes. "The bombers can decide to drop one or more groups of bombs," etc...

    Where can I find the number of bomb groups for a bomber ? Say the He-111 ? How many bomb groups make up the Bomb Load ?

    Am I missing something ?

    Every time I played I used one group of bombs, but, as the rules states, there should, or could, be more then one.

    Any help or pointers will be welcome. Thanks !

    One load is one bomb card. Before the game, decide how many loads you have - with help of the file above. We usually use 1-2, so when the bomber misses it can do it again. Or in case there is more targets...

    Olivier, that helped a lot ! I already had the books at hand to do something similar, but not as complete (I would do it only for the bombers I have right now).

    That was the conclusion I met, but I still had to figure out the bomb load of each plane, and that was solved by the file Olivier pointed out.

    My problem, in this case is/was with the rules, they are a lot dobious in this regard. Ares should be more clear about this issue and/or put up a file like that in their download page. I expended some two hours perusing the rules book, thinking that I must have missed something when I read the rules until I decided to cry for help here

    But if Ares don't do it for you, the Aerodome will

    Thanks again for your (fast) answer

    Done ! Thanks Neil.

    If I quit remember, the Germans used the italian aerial torpedo "Fiume", called F5W type (early war) and the "Naples", F5I later.

    I only realised this as the HE111 I have finished painting in 1/144th scale has 2 torpedo's. Just what I needed to give the Royal Navy a good seeing to in the Channel. Now I only need more ME109's to keep the damned RAF off the big boy's. Ohh.err more models to paint in the coming weeks.
