@delaja Thanks! Yeah, I thought it had a decent base to it. Just as you said, I was trying to think specifically in terms of an HBG expansion. I wanted it to stay localized to the area at hand.
My thought for requiring the planes on the islands was to force the player to have to do something to get the bonus convoy raid other than just possessing the territory. True, the overall goal is to bring those islands into the conflict in some way, and by eliminating the need to have a fighter present on either Malta or Sicily youād still want to defend the islands with troops. But I figured this way either side would have to āgiveā something to āgetā something. You want the convoy raid? Place a fighter in these spots, even if not optimal for potential offensive operations!
Iām certainly happy to chat more about it if youād like as well! Will and Doug both implied they liked it. But like I said, they said it looked great, and asked if I play tested, and I didnāt hear anything after that. Not saying they had to or anything, but I donāt know how much stock they may have really put in it in the end!
