Comrade Trapp (Allies) vs. Leopard (Axis) bid 150. We are playing this game with house rules on max airfleets. Agreed House Rules: Germany: 6 airfleets - 1 strategic Great Britian: 3 airfleets - 1 strategic Soviet Union: 3 airfleets - 1 strategic United States: 1 airfleet - 2 strategic Italy: 1 airfleet - 1 strategic France: 2 airfleets - 1 strateic There is also a cap on Jet Tech and Long Range Tech: no higher then +3 With the numbers we picked, each side could damage the others units but at the same time, airpower alone would not decide the outcome of the war. Without having to dedicate all their mpps to building airfleets and air tech, a player could use the extra mpps for building naval units, strategic bombers, and rockets. More complex and realistic strategies could be used instead of having jet tech decide the war. Airpower would still be a significant factor but it would be toned down a bit.
