#21 Liberator GR Mk III - Canada - Done

Thankyou very much

Modified to exclusively operate in maritime reconnisance, the Liberator GR Mk IIII's of the royal candadian airforce replaced smaller twin engined bombers with the benefits of enhanced range and payload. Amongst the new weapons entering service with the liberator was Mk.24 mine. An early homing torpedo that help shift the battle of the atlantic in the allies favour

DEFENSIVE ARMAMENT: Whenever this unit is attacked by an enemy Fighter in the Air Defense phase, this unit gets +2 armor this turn.

EXCELLENT ENDURANCE: Once per game, at the beginning of the Air Mission phase, you may remove a Rearming counter from this unit.

SURPRISE: If it's the first turn of the game, this unit rolls one extra attack die when attacking.

Its probably 6 but needs the signoff anyway

Would 7 points be too many? In 4 turns it almost guaranteed to hit an armour 4 submarine (3 attacks at 28%), which means sinking a U-boat that costs twice as much, and a 52% chance of hitting an armour 3 submarine each attack.

I think this should be 7 points, maybe even 8. Compare it to the Wellington GR at 10 points. The Wellington has a 7 bomb attack, 3 torpedoes and Leigh Light as it's advantages. The Liberator GR has Defensive Armament (versus Light for the Wellington), and ASW 4 (not sure if an aircraft should go that high, but whatever), 1 torpedo, and Surprise (which could take the first ASW attack to a 5.) I don't think the Liberator is a full 4 points lower than the Wellington.

Also, this Liberator completely obsoletes the 6 point B-24D Liberator which has 8 bomb as an advantage, but "Hi-Level Bomber" which borks the bomb attack, "only" ASW 3, and has no torpedo attack. Compared to that the GR should probably be 8 points.

This card is going to wipe out those two cards at 6 points IMO.
