Road to Dnepropetrovsk feedback

You're welcome

So, what do you make of it so far, Erik?
Except needed romanian shock infantry nerf all seems in good order, balance-wise too. I haven't noticed any problems on soviet side so far.

[Erik2]

I might nerf the Soviet air, maybe reduce their initial strength to 5.
Or remove the airstrip AA units altogether. Or both
Once the Soviet air has launched it is very difficult for the Axis to keep the initiative in the air. Especially since a couple of the Axis aux factions do not have their own air units and thus cannot replace any lost units.

The Germans probably need a boost in resource income as they have a hard time affording to repair Luftwaffe units.
(Yes, I know I should have handled axis air better... ).

The Romanian inf 41' stats will hopefully be fixed in the next patch.

[Edgewalker]

Well, soviet bombers fleet might use a nerf, agree. But consider that I've bought A LOT of AA guns for my free points. Also, as you said, you overextended your planes a bit in an initial strike and took heavy losses in return.

Anyway, let's put our game on hold (?). I guess you will want to try with all the changes as first turns seems crucial.

If it is ok by you we can restart after a few changes...

v1.2 available in first post in my multi thread.

Soviet air units start at 5 strength.
Removed Soviet AA units.
Removed a number of German Flak reinforcements.
Replaced airstrips with airfields. limiting supply to 10 which equals to about 3 air units inside. This makes for a cleaner map.
Added transport to all engineer units (all factions).
Increased German resource income to 150. The Soviet have 200 at start which will increase when (a lot of) reinforcements become available.

You sure soviet side will be competitive with this nerfs?

At least your Soviets

My goal is to simulate the Axis surprise attack and rapid initial movement east, until they bog down as they get closer to the Moscow area.

[Edgewalker]

German field airstrips instead of soviet ones are situated all over soviet teritory.
