Fortifying Air Units
Anyone around that has noticed this yet? A friend (Civ freak like me) showed me this once: you can fortify fihters & bombers outside your cities on any terrain you want! this rules if you have some colonies weakly defended, and some fighters around. you can then post one or two on stragecical points around the city. the advances: longer range for interception or patrol flights. no more frustrating fighter-losses against ememy bombers attacking your city. just place them two or three squares behind the city, and kill these damned bombers .better losing a cheaper devensive unit than a figher. besides, if you have a well defended city with SAM and a bunch of MI, alpines or sth. AND a fighter in the city, its most likely your fighter has to defend than the much stronger land units.
Also great to block important passages: just fortify an air unit on a railroad whis is the only link between two cities, bigger landmasses or sth, and no land unit can remove this block. especially useful if the enemy hasn´t any cities around (or air bases or carriers).
dont know if fortified fighters can intercept "air bridges" (dont know the correct english expression for that thing... :-)
