G40 house ruled nerquen(Axis) vs. wittmann(Allies)

[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!

[nerquen]

ok so from turn 5 DDs are back to regular price, your last chance to buy discounted DDs then.

As for cruisers, 9 is an OOB price for cruisers with shipyards…. I was also surprised that OOB rules make cruiser price to drop from 12 to 9. I would say lets leave it like this for now… we can adjust later if found overpowered
