[ASLML] More LitS thoughts

The table C forces are quite powerful, I think. Hard to say exactly, but I belive:
Commonwealth OBA is most effective on the crowded slopes of scen 2, J80, Egypt's last Hope.  Their FBs without bombs can wreak havoc among the lightly armoured and passanger packed vehicles of scenario 1, J79. The two FBs with bombs should be used on the tanks in J81.

German OBA is most effective on the narrow summit of scen 2, J80. Divebombers would work best against the tanks in J81, but they are maybe too valuable for that short a scenario and could be used to great effect in the long J79.

But mostly, there is a rock-paper-scissors effect to this. FBs beat DBs or FBs with bombs. Everything beats a spotter plane, but it is also the most effective unit. This also very much increases the importance of airsupport arrival dr. If the planes arrive turn 4 instead of turn 3, you don't only miss a turn of support, but may also have to withstand an extra turn of enemy OBA or unrestricted bombings. This feels very random. A late arrival by your FBs could mean that the enemy OBA has exhausted itself already, and that there's only a turn or two left.

The randomnes of table C feels a bit too much. I'd recomend some kind of house rule, making the apearance of airsupport a bit less random. 

Just my thoughts
