Pearl Harbor Aircraft Bonus?

I'm not sure if the aircraft bonus isn't working or I'm just reading it incorrectly or something.

I was trying to take control of the Zeroes aircraft group bonus. I figured that even if I didn't get all the aircraft I would at least still get a bonus of 4 for holding 4 aircraft. Well the dice allowed me to only take 6 of the 7 Zeroes. I was fine with that, I'll just wait until the next turn.

The description of the bonuses says "Until Group taken, within any Group: +3 any 2 aircraft, +4 any 4 aircraft"

Hellyeah, I've got 6 of 7, so I should get +4...Nothing happened. What did happen was my opponent was getting a bonus for Oil and I couldn't get bonus for the aircrafts and I ultimately got annihilated.

If someone could lend some information about this or what is going on that would be great.

...And while I'm here, why can't planes attack any of the AA? I thought that planes would want to take out these?

You do get the bonuses, but only AFTER you contain the entire group. If it's really meant to give THREE for holding TWO planes - that's overly generous. I've seen people in 6 player games have 2+ planes in multiple groups (on the drop). That would be a SICK +6 bonus to start.

Other players lost counting on a sick start.

I guess there are two sides.

I'm glad some are viewing the brokenness as a feature. The foundry (and hopefully lack but I can't know that for sure) is working to resolve the issue regardless.

thanks richardgarr....sorry about the bad start for everyone....but new xml designs bring issues all the time.

I have been in contact with lackattack, but haven't heard back from him yet.

there are more war maps on the development board. keep watch for Battle of Actium soon, followed by the Thai-Burma POW Railway.

Comments in the Foundry are appreciated.
