A question to Hubert:
Is it possible to reduce and increase defence and attack values of units without the brute force model where research *just* increases a units strength from 10 to 15?
Is it possible to give the symbols on the map such as Oil – some strategic bonus – fx. extra manouvering point to mech units incl. air wings –and the loss of symbols a reduction of manouvering points etc.
Paratroppers, Rangers, or Commandos, Mech Inf and Enginers should be reflected in research and give new odds when attacking or defending - and not just increase the strength overall of the units
Research in operational tactics such as Rangers and Commandos should increase the spotting range of Corps and landings with corps an increase in attack
Ex. Enginering: Offensive against Rivers - Now attacker is reduced to 50% offensive power when attacking from a river hex – but with each research improvement this reduction could decrease. Defensive it could increase the defense factor against attack from ground units. And so forth...
