@axis-dominion Tried some test games with Daaras and Stu on some variations, going to so far as to use the bid on land units for the G1 eastern front attacks and building an AB on Poland for the land scramble (if you also attack baltic states). Looked strong for the first few rounds but Allies ended up recovering, just so hard to kill Russia quickly in PTV. But we’ll see, it will be a fun one.

Only scramble to z94.

@trulpen said in L20 #3 trulpen (X) vs aequitas-et-veritas (A) PtV:
I don’t agree with the attack on z99.
There is no practical way any carriers will make it to pick up the fig and tac, so they’re sent on a suicide mission.
-
@trulpen correct. Triple would have also allowed this attack without my DD beeing a possible Clear Clerk, so my “CV” would have a “possible” “landingspot”.
But like you allready said, it is within the rules like the sneaky Karl. -
@trulpen nett gain 5x7=35 IPC on the bottom of the Adria vs 20 IPC’s spended through Warbonds (Captain America did a great job!), a plus of 15 for Allies.

Think it’s a little different.
Trannies cost 6 here, so 30 lost for Axis.
US sacrificed a des, fig and tac, which is 28.
+2 for Allies. Still a plus.

But what mainly sucked for me was the loss of tempo.
