                                Command : BOMB

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command :  bomb  <BOMBERS>  <ESCORTS>  <ASSEMBLY-POINT>  flightpath
<target>

The bomb command is used to rain  destruction  upon  helpless  enemy  sectors,
ships,  and  planes.  You specify the bombers, the fighter escorts if any, the
assembly point, the flightpath that the mission  will  take,  and  the  target
(sector, ships, planes) to be attacked.

Light bombers are used primarily for bombing ships and planes.  Heavy bombers,
while  they can try and hit ships and planes, are generally inaccurate.  Since
a sector is such a big target, the large capacity of a heavy  bomber  is  best
used bombing land sectors.

Note that if a bomber is armed with a nuclear device, it will use that  device
to accomplish its mission in preference to using conventional explosives.
