RE: Bomber support (FT fighter question)

It depends on your GM.	Most PBeM games I've played (or run), the GM has
allowed you to allocate fighters to screen the other squadrons [not what
is
written in FB, but allows more tactics].  It still doesn't help you if
outnumbered, but you can get that important squadron through the screen
&
directly into the PDS.
