Stupid aircombat rules

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

Stupid aircombat rules

Post by Isokron »

So I just had the most stupid aircombat ever in my pbem game. A single italian fighter broke half the red airforce. So looking at the detail it seems like all except the first few of my aircrafts attack with a -80% penalty and then the defender counterattacks with full power. So if you are a bit lucky and survive the first few attacks a single aircraft can easily shot down dozens of attackers. I would say this should really change or the optimal aircraft usage might be to split them down into small units with one of each.

In fact I have revised the counter-attack rules already for the next gold version which should arrive soon.

The fix will affect running games as well.

Best regards,
Vic
