@Stalingradski:
My goodness? How is it possible to have any idea whatsover if Alpha 3 is good or not without 3 or 4 playtests?
Play some games, and if it’s not good, then hammer away. But it came out yesterday!
It looks fine to me until proven otherwise, and I do have some faith that some pretty good players playtested it and some pretty good minds spent time thinking about it. More time than any of us.
We’re all entitled to our opinion, but wow.
Viribus, that wasn’t directed to you, but to a huge group of people on both sites.
We are not opening this game up for the first time. We have all played this, and some have played it extensively. It is obvious to see what some changes will do to established tactics. For example, I know Sealion is out because we have already hammered out the best UK defense possible in a thread, and I know what 4 extra soak will do because I can do math.
The ONLY thing we couldn’t say with any real certainty is if these changes open up new possibilities (which I doubt).
So don’t be so surprised when experienced players voice concerns,as they likely know what they are talking about. Its like GM decided to change the design of their cars to not have a windshield. I have enough experience driving a car to know that is a bad idea.
