[nerquen]

Your failure to capture Yunnan last turn has provided me with a shot on Calcutta crush… be aware of the new “desertion rule” #11 of the house rules. If Calcutta falls in 1st round of a battle any UK army in West India or Burma will lose 1/2 of its units (you chose deserted units). UK units farther from Calcutta (for example Eastern Persia) won’t be affected by this.

[nerquen]

but you can still consider moving 13 slow units to W India, leaving 1 in Burma, all fast units and planes to E Persia… then you would loose “just” 6 inf in W India…

The English don’t run away; don’t you know your history?

Germans think that those Russian artilleries are pretty scary, so I better built more mechs now while I can…. I can build planes later and they can catch with my front fast

India capture was a bit costly… lost 5 planes, but still worth the effort… India was somehow stronger compared to OOB (+6 IPC extra = 2 extra inf per turn) so I was worried that together with a weaker Japanese economy Japan would have hard times conquering it… really bad luck you failed to capture Yunnan in previous turn…

[nerquen]

so far I like the changes…. I actually like the Russian super artilleries, I think it is good for game dynamics if Russia is given an offensive bonus without increasing their defensive strength much… for example Russia were given just extra IPC then they might just invest it all into infantry and turtle even more… with boosting Russian offensive instead, Russia cannot really turtle much stronger than it is used to in OOB rules, so Germany still has a chance conquering it. But it takes just a little misstep on eastern front and those super artilleries can potentially start pushing Germans back especially if Germans would be busy on both fronts…

[Witt]

Is partly my fault, as I never saw the India Crush coming. Still thought 4-1 was enough to safeguard my NO though.
Did you see the batte was over in 4 turns? I missed 10 times you hit each round.

Glad you are scared of Russia. I am going to push your evil hoards all the way to Berlin, then occupy Eastern Europe.

[nerquen]

I first thought that DD’s shall be reduced in price, since their usage as blockers is not that useful anymore… but at price 7 they are just 1 IPC more expensive than the subs… so at least for Japan, I would hardly buy subs if DD’s are so cheap… in J4 I even proffered to send a DD to kill anzac TT as DD has better chance to actually hit back on defense.  Also if DD’s are priced at 8 it is more likely to see cruisers being purchased.

So starting from turn 5, my suggestion would be to bring DDs back to their original cost: 7 IPC for the US and 8 IPC for everyone else. What do you think?

I agree. 7 is too cheap. Did you set the Cruiser price for the US, as 10 is probably still cheap. 9 seems a steal!
