What is the KISS game theory?
Keep it simple ******
What you could do is make it a fortress. Have 2 inf there and 1 fighter with an AA Gun.
Yes but then you add a new unit…a fortress which can be built elsewhere? Thats fine for more elaborate rules. I am in favor of this personally). If you add 22 IPC for UK you will need to compensate Germany. Thats will upset the set up because the german player has new units to kill zone the Soviets and probably take Archangel, when the game was not designed to allow this to happen.
Plus all units defend 1 higher. Then the axis could take it but with heavy losses. Plus if they do take it the Allies coming to the Med. anyway and could possible take it back. I think the problem is that AA50 is not a detailed enough simulation to include Malta. I think you need a Med. that has more that 3 spaces.
yes defense modifier would help in longer battles but with 2 units the battle is a couple of rounds.
How would you balance out the extra pieces… you cant just give UK 22 IPC right off the bat right?
