RE: The Fighter Debate

Well, I don't have a good understanding of the mechanics of the game so
couldn't say whether the interceptor bomber idea would be more
complicated
but just from a general gaming standpoint I don't see it being very
complicated at all.

Neither do I, IF you're trying to expand the presence of fighters in the
game. I seem to recall similar attempts in the past running up against
the
basic simplicity of the whole game, and the group in the main having a
distaste with increasing the complexity of the basic fighter mechanics
beyond a certain point.

Of course, I'm not certain my ideas don't increase complexity, either, 
but
the 'limit the number of attacking squadrons' only kicks in in fairly
large,dense fighter battles.
