MOVED: Limits on Infantry

I definitely think 10 is too low.  Depending on R1, the Russisans can have (and in some cases need) 12-16 inf, 3 arm, 2 ftrs in kar at the end of R1.

I think a stack limit of 20 for all territories with capitals being 30 or something might work.  I think 20 will safely cover (at various stages of the game) all territories except: Ger, EE, Kar, Ukr, Mos and Novo.

Also you could try to only limit inf.  Say 15-20 inf per ter, but you could have as many arm, ftrs, etc as you want.

You should probably start playing with bids to help out the axis.  You seem like a pretty good player who is ready to move on.

Quite frankly it doesn’t matter what Russia does on R1 (straight up) the Allies are going to win the game.

For the sake of argument though, I’ll Retake Man (heavy), probably take Chi, and do a variation of Pearl Lite.

The Reason bids should be considered is here is a typical R1 turn

1)  Attack Ger sub with Rus sub (either win or chase off ger sub)
2)  Kill Ger ships in baltic (2 ftrs, 1 trn)
3)  Strafe/take Ukr
4)  Strafe/take Man (or just reinforce yak)

There is just too much damage you can do.  Russia is far to powerful when played right.  Hence the need for RR with a 9-12 bid or just a 21-24 bid game.

Those Russian planes aren’t worth taking risks with… even if you pump UK and USA planes into Russia for defense later, in the beginning those planes can make a big diff on the Eastern Front (vs. Japan) esp if Japan is trying to go all out on Russia and knock on the back door.

He was refing to above. Save the IPCs to spend during G2 on inf to go with the trans for the Invasion of the UK. :o :roll: :lol:

I see what you mean. I’ve cruised a lot of the fora here… some posts are short and some are bickering, but then some of the bickering is long posts, too!

From what I’ve seen most of your posts are on topic and nothing too long.

I don’t expect to ever get 1000 posts unless I get started playing PBEM here.

dezrtfish, you just hit 666 posts.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

@Wise:

@F_alk: air has a… EXCEPTION on p. 21 …

If you just read p. 21 then there isn’t enough info on that page to cover how ANY unit move in NC so how do you solve that then if you think p.12 to 17 is just for combat? Of course you read each “How They Move”-section for each unit and apply it in NC as well. You can’t just pick a line here and there and say that this is for Combat only but that is for NC as well, either all or nothing!

Absolutely true.
I take the rules for Combat movement, apply them onto Combat move.
I take the modifications and exceptions written down in NC movement rules, and apply the “Combat move rules modified by the NC movement rules” to the NC move.
I don’t apply the pure Combat move rules to NC, and i don’t apply the modified rules to Combat moves.
