When the defending player gets a hit with his AA gun against a Strategic Bombing Raid, are the lost units removed immediately or do they have a chance to return fire at defending fighters?
As the rule is written, if the hit is placed on an escorting fighter, the fighter gets to shoot at defending fighters before it’s removed. If the hit is placed on a bomber, the bomber is shot down before it gets to drop its bombs. HOWEVER, this is an error in the sequence of play which contradicts the rules on anti-aircraft guns. The correct sequence was published in Axis & Allies: Pacific and it should be used in both games. In other words, any attacking planes that are shot down by AA get no opportunity to attack, regardless of whether they were lost during an SBR or a regular combat.
