You could take out entire islands with one good (hell, even a poor shot could take out an island) bomber. I watched him play several times and it seemed he was fine in the early game, but would quickly switch ALL his cities into bomber plants. He could hold the computer back (swinging a club with a blast radius of four can hold most things back), but couldn't seem to win (go figure)... dank
