Micoom,
I apologize if my last post sounded negative that was not my intent.
I assumed that your list was an addition to the current list which I feel would be way too many cities.
But if they are replacements then some of them could work.
Some of my goals for VCs. But not the requirements, I can be persuaded by a good argument.
1. Equal cities for each nation. (Italy will have a hard time with this)
2. “Fairness†None of the cities should be easier to be captured than another, in theory.
3. Not so many cities that when a player loses one they say “Oh well†and move on. Losing cities should still be a big deal.
4. Keep the number down, but more than the current AA game. (I like the idea of 4 to 5 cities per nation, beyond 30 cities is just way too many.)
5. Encourage fighting in the historically correct regions of the world, but allow for creative plans of attack.
6. No two cities adjacent to one another. (I know Warsaw is next to Berlin, but I figured you guys would go nuts if I left off Warsaw and I would have to agree.)
7. Minimize the amount of math. Keep the scoring simple.
8. The majority of the group is happy with the final list.
I’m not too keen on the island cities; I feel that the current list has enough cities in the south pacific to entice Japan to move south.
I don’t think Toburk will work due to its proximity to the current VCs and the fact that it is in the hands of the UK. So I guess we could use it if we removed Cairo but I feel Cairo is better suited for a VC.
I like Cape Town, I have put it on the map a few times, only problem is if we keep the current count what city does UK lose to add CT?
Same with Kiev I like the fact that it is closer to the Russian border and away from Germany but what does Germany lose to add Kiev?
I could live with losing Budapest for Bucharest. It’s further away.
The others were important but I don’t feel they warrant VC status. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestions that is what I and the rest of the group are looking for.
