THH149 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm playing a few QBs and wonder if the points values for US are way off. Siutation as follows: tiny map, small battle, small forces, US Attack. US budget: 6,660 or so, Russian budget: 4,000 or so. No force adjustment for the attacker (US) or defender. With the US budget I can buy about a company or so of infantry, but with the Russan budget, I can buy a BMP battalion plus maybe half of another or for art/air/drones. Now I know the US is really good, but is this what's meant to happen in a QB with these settings? Best THH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It's intentional, yes. And I would say for the most part US units are worth the premium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THH149 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Really? I must be failing at something as I can barely get my US out of the set-up zone, or occupy a mere single square on the objective to contest it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I dont think its worth it. If you think thats bad, if you want an EXTREME challenge, try US vs Ukraine, and you can probably afford 1.5 VETERAN btg versus a regular US company. I played a pbem RU vs UA, and the UA player had deployed twice the amount of troops as me, with most of them veteran. My troops were all regular... I lost. Its ridiculous.

Vanir Ausf B Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I took a look at the QB PBEM records at TheBlitz and they do suggest a significant Russian advantage, at least for tiny and small QBs. But the medium and large QB records are fairly even. It makes sense that the most restrictive QB sizes would favor the cheaper forces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THH149 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I really will temper my expectations then, with my strategy now: - occupy just one objective square and - attrit the RU forces as much as possible while taking minimal losses. Interesting challenge ... but its lucky the defender is so placid which would not happen in a PvP QB.

THH149 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I just tried this approach and scored a Total Victory, 'cos the Russian's surrendered of course ... Edited October 19, 2021 by THH149 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
