Each turn consists of one sortie, during which the player will fly a mission to bomb the mainland of the United States. As the player progresses, he may choose to upgrade to even more advanced bombers in this alternate history game. Amerika Bomber is based on the popular, action-packed “B17: Queen of the Skies” system and pays homage to Glen Frank’s original system, but with streamlined routines and a few twists.

Combat consists of interception from U.S. carrier and land-based aircraft, depending on where the player is currently located, and the U.S. antiaircraft guns will also pose a major threat upon approach to the target. After bombing and returning to base, landing operations occur, with the weather playing a factor again as part of the landing procedure. When the mission is completed, you will ascertain if any awards have been earned or Experience points gained prior to you next sortie. Here you can also spend Experience points if desired to gain skills and may request a new bomber type if one is available.

Your mission is to destroy as much English war facilities as possible via bombing raids, or to conduct reconnaissance over the North Sea...and still survive and come home. Zeppelin Raider is based on the popular Hunters game system by Gregory M. Smith that delivers a tense and nail-biting narrative throughout the course of play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"England shall be destroyed by fire!\" - line from a popular German children's song, circa WW1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e So hoped Germany after the initial successes of World War 1 turn into a quagmire and stalemate in the trenches...and now, a new weapon arose, capable of crossing the channel with impunity and bringing destruction to England. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's brainchild, the lighter-than-air rigid airship, came to the forefront of new weapons in this most brutal of wars. It took a certain amount of courage to go to war riding over a half million cubic feet of flammable gas, but there were no shortage of volunteers. Despite the arguable effectiveness of the world's first strategic bombing campaign, it without question tied up a huge amount of resources that England could barely afford, and for that reason alone was worthwhile. One hundred and seventy seven Zeppelin sorties pummeled England during the war, with high explosive and incendiary bombs, which caused a strong British response. The Zeppelins finally lost the arms race to aircraft and explosive\/incendiary bullets, however, and losses were grievous. Over half of the German Navy's airships were lost on combat missions, most of those in flames. It was not a job for the faint of heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Players will find it challenging to survive an entire tour from 1914 to 1918, at which time, if still alive, you will surrender at base, having done your part on the front lines. If desired, a player may start with a more advanced model of Zeppelin which may actually increase their chances to survive. You may start at any month\/year you wish, but notice that some Zeppelins are available right away, but others are not available until later. Players may be reassigned to a newer model of Zeppelin under some circumstances, but typically will stay in the same airship until the end of game or until shot down in flames, sunk, or wrecked in a crash landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The object of the game is to conduct numerous missions which include two main types: Bombing missions are required to bomb a specific geographic location in England (London, for example), whereas Scouting missions are required to scout a specific location in the North Sea. Players are not limited by the mission parameters for success; as you may choose to bomb or successfully scout somewhere else. The success of each mission can result in promotion and crew advancement. Just as in the real war, the game system involves a great deal of chance (as was the case historically), but ultimate success rests on the decisions, you make during your career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A strong historical narrative is presented without overly cumbersome or complex rules to memorize so the focus is always on game play and what critical decisions you will make during each mission. Rules cover mission selection, altitude adjustment and gas cell tracking, venting, emergency jettison, maximum altitude, dynamic lift, wind and weather effects, fuel management, bombing missions, aircraft and ship encounters, zeppelin damage, crew advancement, awards and promotion, reassignment to a newer ship, a special resupply mission to Africa, and much more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This game is highly accessible to those familiar with The Hunters or Raiders of the Deep.

Unit morale is the main thematic focus in a Tricorne battle as it was historically.

In November 1914, Russia's 3rd Army pressed on Krakow, the center of Austrian Poland, while the Russian 8th Army threatened to break through the Carpathian passes into Hungary. Desperate to relieve the pressure, Franz Conrad von HÃotzendorf, Chief of the General Staff for Austria-Hungary, gambled on a counter attack about 25 miles southwest of Krakow.Conrad launched his 4th Army into the thinly held, 20-mile wide gap between the Russian 3rd and 8th Armies on December 3. Austro-Hungarian forces rolled forward about 12 miles in just three days along a front from Lipanow in the north to Limanowa in the south. Russian resistance stiffened on the 6th with fierce fighting erupting around the village of Limanowa. Several days of see-saw action ensued until the lines crystallized on December 11.For once, Conrad's daring paid off. In response to his gains, the Russians scrambled to secure their front and so abandoned plans to drive on Karkow and Hungary. Conrad, however, paid a heavy price by suffering 12,000 casualties and expending the last of his elite 14th \"Innsbruck\" infantry corps to stop the Russians who easily absorbed and replaced their 30,000 losses. Never again would the Austro-Hungarian Army win an independent victory; from now on, all progress depended on German participation.LLL is the second volume in the Red Poppies Campaign (RPC) system for gaming World War I battles.
