I'm a little confused about bomber escorts.
1. "5.6-Only ONE Escort is permitted during a Mission." I assume this is supposed to read that only one escort at a time is allowed during a mission? I ask because the preceding sentence indicates a choice must be made to keep the current escort or roll to pick up another. If only ONE escort is permitted then there would be no need to choose whether to keep the current escort or roll for a new one.
2. "5.5-If the Formation has moved a total number of boxes away from the 8th Air Force Base Box that exceeds the Escort Fighter's Range Rating the the Escort Fighters must leave the Formation." So if the bombers pick up their escorts in a green box one hex away from their base, the escorts will accompany the bombers only five more hexes (at which point they will be six spaces away from base box)? And if bombers pick up escorts in the space south of Rouen, these escorts can only accompany the bombers one more space? (Assume that this is 1942 and the escorts are P-47s.)
