As Thomas said, for this we will have layers patch.  I was just removing
inconsistencies, where sometimes bombers were protecting units and
sometimes not.  Also, when bombers were not protecting and the land unit
lost the fight, the bomber would get killed too, by a unit which cannot
otherwise kill it :( At least now we are consistent with civ2.
