adam wanted to test out the scramble-to-land option, which is already available in the Map Options (i.e., unchecking Scramble to Sea Only). early on in the game when i realized how much harder it is to crack europe with all those air bases, i told adam, in frustration, i’m not liking this as it seems to favor the axis, making europe that much harder to break…but then i decided to continue with an open mind, and a few rounds later have found the battling around trying to break through rostov and with all those russian air bases to be actually very fun! probably one of the craziest and funnest games i’ve had in a while lol game is still going strong, adam just refuses to let me settle anywhere in europe, god damnit! i’ve already had to retreat out of s.france and now i’m going to have to bail on norway!
just thought i’d share this experience, and was wondering if anyone else has tried this option? i mean, it does require more scrambling decisions, so if you decide to try it, be sure your opponenent is pretty active and can answer pretty quickly. not a problem for us since we’re both very fast and responsive.
anyway, if you’re looking for something different and very interesting to try, to spice up your axis&allies, go for it! it’s freely available since it’s just one of the map options right out of the triplea box!
