Bloodbath on the German turn as well! Our seem to be rolling crazy good so far ;)

Was supposed to say “Our Defenders” have been rolling crazy good :) UK is quite stretched out, but the sea zones in the Med give me some time to reinforce Egypt and Gibraltar before the German-Italian combined forces crack it.

I glanced at the Game Options and saw I had both Unit Repairs at End/Start of turn checked. I usually play with the Start option, so battleships don’t repair instantly, is that ok with you?

Lol! My plan was to retreat after round 1 in SZ 88 but I got so few hits that I decided to stay for one more round… but then I got so many hits that I destroyed your entire fleet! So now my ships are stuck there and vulnerable to a counter-attack! Thus I will suffer a Midway defeat just like Japan did in the real war 😀
By the way, I am fine with BBs repairing at the start of your turn. Although that isn’t a v3 rule, I don’t like how battleships instantly repair. That kinda nerves them a bit but I would rather decrease their cost than allow them to instantly repair.
-
@VictoryFirst If you want to, starting next round, we can use PTV prices for navy units - 11 for cruiser, 18 for battleship. Even 6 for transport, if you want… I actually buy quite a few battleships in that version, it also has the marines, which come in quite handy island-hopping in the Pacific.

OOL? 2 hits:

Lol it should be nerfs not nerves 😂
I actually prefer The Captain’s G40 House Rules Expansion prices navy which are:
transport: 6
sub: 6
destroyer: 7
cruiser: 9
carrier: 12
battleship: 15
(fighters: 9)I love that system. It allows more ships to be built and is also more balanced than the standard costs. However, that game also has a lot more other units so I don’t know how well it work in this game. We could always try both.

@Stucifer said in VictoryFirst v Stucifer - Big World (1942,v3 ruleset):

Kill the carrier and a fighter

Fighters at 9 seems a little cheap to me just because they are arguably the best unit in the game. The rest of it I can agree with.
