@axis-dominion said in AD (L+28) vs FB (X +10) #4 BM:

idk… in the 5 or so PTV games i’ve played i just couldn’t get myself to buy much of them even at 18, just felt too expensive… how often are you buying them realistically? once or twice a game, or less than that?

in any case we’re experimenting with this, and maybe the right choice is 17 or 18, we’ll see how it goes this game. but i almost think dds should be reduced to 7 and keep bbs at 16, but then that’s a lot more PU editing required.

If I want fleet strength and a marine, I buy a BB. I often buy 1 early for the Atlantic as the US.

Change German casualties if you want. As The Good Captain noted, in certain cases it’s better to take tanks rather than artillery (anti-aircraft capabilities).
