Another, YET more comprehensive poll on the 5/5 issue

[boersma8]

Since I missed certain ( good) options in the other polls, here goes another one. I'd say all possible options should be represented now!

[oddfellow]

Maybe the can release a set in the future: AAM set 5.5 "Corrections". This is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but they probably would sell buttloads of this set.

I'm pretty sure we'll only see an Advanced Rules recost, to be used optionally. They still have to sell the game to newbies and players who like the game "as is". Advanced recosting should satisfy most of the rest.

As Uncle Joe said (not verbatum): Compartmentalize the recost.

But, as a thought, who here would be willing to buy all new Advanced Rules cards if they were offered separately? Actually, I probably would. 2 tiers of playing might open the door to another set of cards...until players found the advanced rules defective...then we're back on square one. Sorry, human nature just suddenly reared its ugly head and brought me back to earth.

Compartmentalize recosts.

I think elites should be superior in many respects, and more durable. making them easier to disrupt with def 4 steely resolve makes them a bit more resistant to isolated attacks, but not to massed fire, which can then whittle them down. 5 def gives them that durability, but does make them too resistant to existing AI, which has too little chance of killing them. I think the gradual increase in cost for taking multiples makes the most sense, since they should be in short supply, but would most likely take part as whole units, not ragtag attachments of elite and non-elite. If taken one at a time, they're not as impressive; it's mostly when taken in huge groups that they become unstoppable. so, when taking more than one, gradually increase their costs, and they won't dominate small unit tactics as easily. one or two here and there, ok. ten? now it's the majority of your force, and should be reflected as such.

here's an idea to make ordinary units usable, while not replacing/nerfing elites altogether: an elite (def 5 solider for now) soldier gives steely resolve to adjacent friendly non-elite, non-artillery soldiers - morale boost, shared command, etc. might make a mixed bag more playable, without a ton of extra rules, conditions, exceptions, etc.

I'm still in favour of making them Defence 4 Steely Resolve 2, that or putting in a hard cap. These options are both easy to implement and provide a good solution to the problem:

- regular infantry isn't worth it
- they laugh at machine guns
- tanks only tickle them
- planes are a joke

... and not all of the offered options offer a solution to all these problems.


:cool:

4/4 steely resolve 2 is what I voted for. I'd also be for some sort of limit.

Compartmentalize recosts.


I would buy that.

To be quite honest, I WOULDN'T MIND AT ALL! Of course I don't want the entire set to consist of " corrections" but ten slots ( for the next couple of sets) sure, why not! If that actually helped to fix the game! It's one thing to have spent a lot of money and having to spend even more for the betterment of the game, quite another to realize that that money has basically gone down the drain, because so many units are unplayable, unhistorical and so many rules and SA's are broken ( at the moment...)

[boersma8]

I would buy that.

So would I!

4/4 steely resolve 2 is what I voted for. I'd also be for some sort of limit.

If you made them 4/4 SR 2, I don't see a need for a cap anymore...The SR 2 is what the additional points are for and they can now actually be taken out by regular infantry. ( + hard charger, + ruthless, + paratrooper etc.). So they're also still better than the current 4 point infantry that already have 4/4 steely resolve 2...Really the best solution! It may not solve everything, it does go the longest way!
