RE: Macedonian Aid

<t> If you have already two Macedonian Aid cards, give it a try. Their units are very strong (the strongest in the game I think) and can take much damage. And you get an additional leader in Italy, what is always helpful. If you keep Hannibal with the main army in the field, ready to intercept ...

RE: BTR reaction times

This seems to be a bug that was already in the original BTR. Exactly the same problem in the same area. Changing the doctrine settings will not solve it.

RE: FW190A

<t> That's right, but on the other hand, allied bombers in the old game are always flying at 31/32k beyond flak range, what is very unrealistic too. And I have never seen any reason (better target sight, better bombing results,...) not to fly in so high.<br/>
Seeing this, I think it's only fair ...
