Worst Alpha Modifications

And in India, if you have to trade 3-5 aircraft to get it prior to USA coming into the war, it’s worth the investment!  No England anywhere on the map = yummy!

Ugh, thats a punch in the guts.  The only way to hit bmbs used to be the aa gun….now there is no way.

Aye.  That’s the idea.  You can even insulate yourself against facility AA Guns by bringing Tactical Bombers in to soak hits on “their” runs against a base so you could preserve your strategic bombers.

Awesome, the best unit in the game…has the most movement, can hit sea and air, and rolls a 4…cannot be taken down!  I think Larry needs to add more bmb’s then!  Lets do 4 per country and see how many get shot down over the course of a game.

I am feeling totally lost because what I assume was a great game is turning into this pile of muck that smells awful and isnt pretty to look at.

Actually, I like the bombers and AA Gun changes…I dont like all the units they took away from England it’s almost as if Larry WANTs England totally removed from the game before anyone can do anything to help them.

I’d, personally, take Alpha 2 but with the AA Gun changes.

You know what, I tend to agree with you for the most part.  Alpha +2 was a really good setup.  I don’t like that they weakend France so much.  There should be some British units in France and Normandy.  Also, I still don’t like the wording of the new Soviet NO, but we won’t get into that again.
However, I do like the new AA Gun rules of Alpha+3.  I also like the new Italian setup, mainly spreading out the fleet a little and putting both Italian fighters on the air base.  I do like that Germany gets an extra bomber and tank, but I also agree that perhaps Sealion is somewhat too easy now.  Just not sure how would be the best way to change that.
One other thing I DON"T like about Alpha+3 setup is losing 2 airbases for UK.  Don’t really care about the one on Malta, but Gibraltar should definitely have an airbase.

I totally agree with you,knp7765

I’m good with keeping the extra bombers for Germany, Italy and England; Alpha +2; AA Gun Rules and Placements from Alpha +3; Technology Changes in Alpha +3

i also agree.

As for the Malta AB: not necessary but made the game more more interesting.

The discussions leading up to when the Air Bases were removed was revolving around saving the Italian navy.  I think that is why Larry took the two airbases off the Med.

Edit:  I think it would have been better to add an Airbase to N. Italy in addition to the one in S. Italy and that would have accomplished saving the Italian fleets in SZ 95/97 as well without gimping England’s defense.
