I found that LucasFilms' Their Finest Hour (and SWOTL) had a tremendous amount of re-play value because of the strategic side of the game. Trying out different strategies was an exciting part of the game. It had a major weakness in that it simplistically extrapolated from your mission success to all other missions flown and so it was comparatively easy to cripple the enemy if you did well in the mission you flew.
That said, I don't think that Oleg is going to include a strategic component to SOW:BOB. He's never mentioned anything of the sort and, on the contrary, has re-iterated on several occasions that "one pilot could not win the war". I do hope (and expect from what he's said), however, that damage to a Chain Home station will affe3ct the RAF response capability and that that damage will likely carry over from one mission to the next in a campaign.
