@The-Janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

I think you need to ask the question, “why would NATO buy a nuke?” because you’ve always based the entire cost/benefit analysis on how many infantry a nuke costs. Why would NATO spend 20 IPCs to kill 10 IPCs of infantry? Even with the upgraded nuke, it’s still only a break-even proposition for NATO.

Great point. You don’t even need to buy a nuke as NATO while the USSR has to blow holes in its economy to build the two needed to make something you might call a difference in the naval war.

@Ragnell804 response to the problem of being the Soviets is to both buy a spy with the pregame IPC and dump the rest into going whole hog on Italy AND Germany round 1 and essentially banking the game on a coin flip.

That’s the most interesting answer I’ve seen to (again) what I feel strongly is a significant imbalance.

@Stucifer I assumed no scrambles. … To be totally honest, I thought I was playing a practice round. I didn’t realize until the end that I had made the dice live – selected forum.
