I have been toying with the idea of modifying the battleboard some. It is probably too complicated and many will not like it but still shooting it out there just in case anyone is interested.
Some units I have given the ability to target specific enemy units. Some only get to target during the 1st or 2nd round of combat. Others target the duration. Fighters and Bombers get to target but are limited to the amount of time they spend in the “Air” this may change with Long Range Aircraft.
I have also tried to create a reserve for the defender. The reserve is to replicate behind the line units for use against break throughs or enemy weaknesses. These units do not get to fire the first round but may make targeted attacks the second.
