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.

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):

OOL? 2 hits:

Kill the carrier and a fighter

I suggest we play this game first with the normal navy prices and use the different system in our second game.

Russia is up 😀

@Stucifer

Yeah I thought Germany was up too until I saw a purchase screen popping up with Russian units lol.

@Stucifer

Submerge British/Russian subs here?
