AARHE: Phase 2: Units

Id would limit para builds based on nation it should cost 5 for para
they are at 2/2 but attack on first round at 3
actually we didn’t like changing combat value and last made it 4 IPC attack 2 defend 2
but 5 IPC would solve the straight problem of INF already costing 4 IPC at certain VC

we could make it 2 VCPs per PARA built, instead of a table of limits

++++ ok great thats sound good. add that.

yea right. Para are specialized trained troops. they should be raised only in selected areas.
if 5 IPC then you won’t be able to build them at 1 IPC locations
I guess we can also make it paratroopers can only be built at capital VC

+++ yes that is how it should be something very specialized… during the war these troops were very important once they were lost ( germans in crete) they were impossible to replace…

only build in capical VC is perfect make it so Tekkyy

lets finish NA’s and recap what we got.

[tekkyy]

PARA (paratrooper)

at division level its actually called Airborne rather than Paratrooper right?

but then the short form becomes AIR (airbone), which is confusing

[Micoom]

Yes, so keep  PARA instead. Better to understand for everyone.

[tekkyy]

“AIR (airborne)” is a confusing short form.

How about “PARA (airborne)” ?

A bit like “ARM (tank)”.

[Imperious Leader]

Para

[tekkyy]

which question are you answering  :|

you mean there is paratrooper division ?

or leave it at PARA (paratrooper)

or change it to PARA (airborne) ?

[Imperious Leader]

PARA (paratrooper)

keep it simple. plus no established abbreviation for them so we have to invent our own…

AP will remain the only case where people will have to memorize that it means troopship

[tekkyy]

ok no change

yeah AP is probably the least obvious USS hull classification

[Imperious Leader]

Oh i forgot…

the german long range bomber is only one bomber per game…

the other way is WAY too powerful.

[Micoom]

I know it was decided before to not change the setup, and that is fine. But I would like to come up with extra setup’s for optional units, so that players will faster start using them. So that we can add MECH, PARA and CA’s… Could we agree to this?

[Imperious Leader]

Funny you asked…

in another forum i got the same question about cruisers…

Should i research this?

I can say that:

Japan 2 cruisers, 1 para, 1 mech
Italy 1 cruiser, 1 para, 1 mech
Germany 1 cruiser, 2 para, 3 mech

Soviets 1 para, 3 mech
UK 3 cruisers, 1 para, 1 mech
USA 1 cruiser, 1 para, 1 mech

this would be basically balanced and historical

now decide where they go.

plus look at other optional units.

Some will wonder about UK getting 3 cruisers… but look at the number they had compared to USA and youll agree

[tekkyy]

ok lets talk about it in the setup thread
