we usually play aa50 with NOs, no tech
we have the impression US will be only strong when spending 90% or more in one region, either for Europe or Pacific.
On the other way, for all players it’s more interesting and more fun if US plays everywhere, as happend in WWII.
Unfortunately US funds does not allow that kind of play, a 50% spend means your too weak for Europe and you will never threaten Japan.So this looks good at a first glance, but it’s waste of time and money and leads to frustration to the Allies player.
Our Idea:
Dividing US !
That would be an Idea for a new AA version or TripleA sceanrio.
The eastern US forces get their own NOs for Europe and Africa, a higher income, 10 - 15 IPC, but they can only build and play in the Atlantic and Europe/Africa
The western US forces get their own NOs for Pacific and Asia, a higher income, at least 15 - 20 IPC, but they can only build and play in the Pacific and Asia
Both get units of a diferent colour to seperate them from each other, they can’t attack together as well.
Move Order ist new: you play western US completely and after placing units, the eastern US will be played.
That’s the same concept as dividing Germany into Germany and Italy in AA50.
For obious reasons that US nations need more money as US has now as a united country, how much is questionable of course. I would like to see the US competitive in both Atlanic and Pacific at the same time, but of course much weaker as now, when US spends 100% in one region. Some rules have to be defined as well, one thing that should not happen is, that one side is building air units and fly through US to support the other side (e.g. fighters that land on the other ACs).
what do you think of that idea ?
