Since FA seems slanted toward the USA, I have been working on "Balancers". One of my ideas is that there are not 18 cities that are close enough to the borders for the Invaders to get to. The Supply Lines rule make it REALLY tough to get too far inland.
I propose adding 2 new cities to the board (hey we get 2 extra City pieces with the game anyway!)
The US would add 2 extra Infantry and 2 extra Mobile Units to the game to start in these cities, and the Invaders would get a few extra Reinforcement pieces as well (again, game comes with extras - let's use 'em)
First one they left out is Las Vegas - maybe not the largest US city, but definitely important to morale.
This would offer a new one in reach of both the West and South Invaders.
Any ideas for a second new city? I'm thinking maybe Oklahoma City, Raleigh,NC or Santa Fe/Albuquerque.
Adding them to the South or West will make the US thin its forces in the East, giving the Eastern Invader a much needed break.
Ideas?
