	Would you permit fighters of different types to group together?
I
can't see any reason why before or after a sortie interceptors couldn't
group with say torpedo planes to protect them. However, I have the
feeling
that if you allowed fighter groups of mixed types to exist the game
might
degenerate into a logistic nightmare.
