Question:
Are only multiples of two bombing hits are implemented as CD strength point damage, and odd bombing hits resulting from this mission are not being carried over from operation to operation?
Answer:
The basic point is that it takes two hits on the bombing table to apply a “hit” to the CD, and there is nothing specifically saying that the total of bombing hits used to arrive at the number of CD hits is divided, so to speak, by individual air operations.
Therefore the number of CD hits applied due to air bombing is based upon the total number of bombing hits achieved in a player turn. Simply keep a side record of the number of bombing hits achieved in all of the CD bombing missions you fly and apply one CD hit for every multiple of two bombing hits you achieve.
Of course, any “half hits”, that is, any bombing hits not divisible by two, are ignored, once the final tally is arrived at. For example, suppose after 7 air missions (and moving on to a phase wherein they can no longer initiate such missions), the Allies have achieved 5 bombing hits on a particular CD. This would inflict two CD hits on the CD and the remaining bombing hit would have no effect.
