I've been playing fairly well on the medium levels of play for a few months. Now I want to have fun with the Planet Buster. But whenever I send it on a bombing run...it doesn't go anywhere! I'm positive the city is within range and I don't have a pact or any other agreement with the intended recipient of this wonderful device. I can even see that it's orders change to state that it is supposed to bomb whatever city I had targeted. But it never leaves the hangar. What can be the problem? Nothing settles an argument like a weapon of total destruction...
Thx in advance.

A PB on a bombing run??????? Your problem is that a PB is a missile not a bomber. Just have it attack the lucky base and watch the fireworks

Not sure what action command you are using. It's probably best to manually move it to your target. Move it on a square with an enemy city or unit and Kaboom!
