Flak Towers, Flak Ships Flak Batteries
« on: March 25, 2001, 08:03:00 PM »
As you may be aware the defense of the Flak gun was not onlly clustered around targets, but also placed along likely avenues of approach. They were put in place on the ground in clusters where ever thought useful, and also placed on anchored ships at sea along likely pathways. Towers were also erected, both at sea and ashore, to give some added range to the gun, better visibility and field of fire (not sure what other reasons for these were, but they used em both sides).  These might add some spice to the game, making bomb routes either go around em, tough it out or plan to knock em out ahead of time. Of course they would also give strafers and bombers something to go after that might not draw so much defense. Also needless to say they could have a map room and be captured, say with only five troops even?
