@Stucifer Understood re both points - better for us to just use the rules as they are. As to why I didn’t do that in the first place, it’s because I’d rather have the 2x fighters in Sydney (with the bomber dead) than the 4 transports dead but losing an extra DD. It was close, but I’d rather be certain that Anzac can defend itself for the foreseeable future than eliminate the transports closer to home.

@mikawagunichi Nope, that one was intentional, for better or worse.

@mikawagunichi All good, was a close decision either way, no worries. Appreciate the offer.

@axis-dominion Fair enough - this is my 9th game of PTV, I think, so I’ll have to see how it plays out. But sitting in Yugo, you’d be able to wipe out any territory next door, which means I can’t commit too many troops to any territory (or suffer a massive TUV hit), and if I don’t protect the surrounding territories, then Russia is earning 70+. Russia earning more than Germany, and entrenched in SE Europe, is end-game for Axis (at least, it is in BM). From my perspective, I didn’t have much of a choice.

@axis-dominion Granted, I’m new to the Forum style of play, but I think that if a player isn’t willing to take gambles sometimes, that can be used against them. I appreciate that risk-tolerance has to increase as a player’s situation becomes more desperate, but if I know that someone isn’t going to take a 70% gamble when they’re ahead, then I can commit fewer troops to hold objectives, to use them elsewhere. Anyways, time will tell.
