Strategic Bomber Attack - Black # Flashes - Means What?

[rkr1958]

I know attacks by Strategic Bombers do something and the black number that flashes during the attack means something, but I still confused by it all. Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me on this? Thanks.

It hurts the city, so that production gets lower.

Thanks for the response. So if a black 2 flashes does that mean is loses 2 production points? An if so, for how long are they lost? When I check the city I don't see any draw down of the PP after an attack. Though, I may be looking at the wrong thing.

Cities lose strength. Max strength is 10. So if a city with PP 2 loses 5 strength that is 50% hence 1 PP

OK, now I think I'm understanding, almost ... I assume this loss is cumulative. How long does once lost to repair, assuming no further attacks?

1 strength per turn

That is great information and I know understand how that works. Thanks
