Heavy tanks should be A4,D4. Sloped armor should stay a seperate tech. enables you to have exactually what you described, an eastern front tank arms race. Other techs could be reduced cost= higher production like russian T-34s. Also i have King Tiger tanks for Germany. Attack 5, defend 4 cost 12 , 2 hits to destroy. only 4 can be built at any one time on the board. thinking about making them more expensive. King tigers were real scary.

Larrys new NOs for US look exellent and look like they will balance game better becouse they will scale down US income if conditions are not met

would call this tec SLOPED ARMOR becouse a tank is already armored

Alantic ocean needs to be BIGGER

Been playing it like that for years. works great. you just have to get used to adjusting attack and defense values for the given situation. as far as tac bombers, remember, 1 tac bomber is really meant to represent a squadron of planes. not 1 plane trying to drop 1 bomb and fly away. just like a aircraft carrier held alot more than 2 planes. see what i mean?

NOs are good. they can represent added strenghts to an economy like oil, or political power or influence

You got it!
Pretty much dead on. Tacs would not lose first round targeting, i think they should be able to target a
ll the time. That would be their strengh. this can always be countered with
fighters.    think about this, fighters: attack 2, defend 2 against land and naval targets. but fighters attack 3, defend 4 against tacs and bombers. Tacs attack 2 and defend 2 against fighters and use normal attack values against land and naval targets.Strat bombers always defend from fighters at 1

Very interesting post about actual #s of subs for Italy. That could definitely change things up abit.

This is sort of related. Does anyone feel the scale of the Atlantic Ocean is too small? I think it should take longer and be harder for US to smash into europe so easily. Seems like Atlantic is too small compared to Pacific.

Thats a good start. how about another cruiser and 2 more destroyers to keep UK from sinking entire Italian fleet. Is that too much?

Looks like Eric Greener map from 10yrs ago.  Was that his name?

@calvinhobbesliker:

You’re wasting 6 ipcs to deny 2 ipcs. In addition, 1 Destroyer and multiple planes will kill the lot. If the axis build them on round 2, then it’ll be until round 4 that they get to the US. US, seeing this coming a mile away, blocks with DDs and prepares to counter them. in addition, Russia is eying up Germany
OUCH! :-o

Gibralter NB must stay. ILs idea is good. Calvins right, dont weaken UK.
How about strengthen ITALY? any suggestions?

My post is pretty self explanitory. do you have a specific question?

Like these, awesome.

DOGFIGHTING INVOLVING TACS
The way i play it is all fighters pair off and resolve dogfight first. if tacs are involved in attack defending fighters can choose to go after tacs or attacking fighters. attacking fighters act sort of like escorts, they defend against fighters and        tie them up so the tacs can get thru and target their objectives. in this case the tacs can choose their targets. if you attack with tacs with no attacking fighters for support against defending fighters, the tacs can choose to defend themselves against fighter attack, or go after land/naval targets. the latter would be a bad choice thou becouse the defending fighters could go after the attacking tacs and just chew them up. after dogfighting is resolved combat as usual.

great idea, would be very helpful :-)

While were on the topic, does anyone feel the oil rich middle east TTs should be worth alot more ipcs ? It would be interesting to have Germany, Russia and England racing to grab and defend all that money. Could be a game changer.

Exellent video! Really enjoyed it.Very well done.

Are you talking about the pieces for the Singapore game sold on the FMG website? The fixed artillery for that looks perfect. they want like 2.50 per piece i think and i wont pay that.
