                               Command : KBOMB

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: kbomb <BOMBERS> <ESCORTS> mission-type <SECT> route

Kbomb is identical to the bomb command, but uses suicidal  pilots  to  perform
the  mission.  As planes in your BOMBERS list are selected for the flight, you
will be asked to designate which planes are kamikazes.  For  each  plane,  you
must at this time specify:

     *  A single ship, tank, balloon, or train id number specifies one
        single kamikaze target you would like this plane to go after.

     *  [y] indicates that this plane is a kamikaze.

     *  [n] or [Return] to indicate that this plane is not a kamikaze.

     *  [!] to indicate that all remaining planes are kamikazes.

     *  [.] indicates that none of the remaining planes are kamikazes.

                               Command : KBOMB

Planes with a specific kamikaze target will automatically dive on that  target
if  it  is spotted anywhere along the flight path.  For kamikazes that have no
specific target, you will be offered a list of  potential  targets  to  choose
from  each time possibilities appear along the flight path.  At that time, you
can then specify:

     *  A specific target id number.

     *  [?] to redisplay the target list.

     *  [*] to pick a target at random.

     *  [Return] to do nothing.

                               Command : KBOMB

If a kamikaze pilot is shot down, there is a 50% chance that he  will  make  a
last-ditch  effort  to  take out some random target as he bites the dust, even
though his likely chance of hitting it are  extremely  small.   If  forced  to
abort  the  mission,  he  will also either make a final stab at his preplanned
target, or ask you to select from a list of in-range possibilities.

Remember that kbomb's primary mission is still to bomb a specific target,  and
that planes you identify as kamikazes also take part in the bombing raid.
