Bombardment

This unit's attacks ignore cover. This unit can't attack Aircraft.

Q: The German Wespe, US M4A3 (105) Sherman, US M7 105mm Priest and the Soviet SU-152 have the Bombardment special ability, which allows them to ignore cover. What happens if any of these tanks attacks a unit with the superior camouflage special ability? Could this unit be bombarded at medium and long ranges?
A: Bombardment attacks ignore cover, but superior camouflage prevents the attack from happening in the first place. (Note: There are eight other AAM units that have both the Bombardment and
Blast special abilities. Those units could target the unit in the above example if there was another unit in the same hex. See the Blast SA for more details.)

Q: Can units with the Bombardment SA use it to attack Aircraft?
A: No. According to the 11/12/09 clarification, both of these units' Bombardment SA should include "This unit can't attack Aircraft."
