Thanks to all for the help on what ER meant--knew I had seen it but just
could not find it in the rules.

Ryan, I love your idea for this;have not played with them yet,though. I have
been reading a lot on anti-shipping strikes (Nesbit's "Strike Wings" and
"Armed Rovers",Cordesman's modern war study of Iran-Iraq war,Harpoon 3
supplement "Troubled Waters",Polmar's "Guide to Soviet Navy",5th
ed.,"Red
Storm Rising",Sandy Woodward's "One Hundred Days",just to name a
few....)
and want to use these in an FT game. I am going to try out your version of it
solo from:

It looks like they are similar to a Soviet Backfire or Blinder armed with Kelt
or Kichen missiles for strike.I am going to read thru that thread again as I
want to also try them out with shorter range strike package and have the
bomber itself go in for ship attack (like Falklands Bomb Alley or the old
Beauforts and B25 Mitchells in WW2.) I remember seeing another version of this
in that thread,just have to find it.

Thanks,
