I took the time to follow the max fighter rule. Yes, time. It included counting how many squads I could give fighters to and IF they had there max making sure I would not go over. Realistically squads are more under then over so if you cut it down the middle you can possibly be over by one or two or at the most a handful if your not as careful as I was.
BUT,
NOT 16!! If I counted correctly. I (axis) was one under max and allied were SIXTEEN PLANES OVER!!
I had players PM me and even talk with me on skype, in game on private AND one phone call about my "numbers" and after I explained the restrictions it made sense to them but, I also explained the enemy had THE SAME restrictions so now it is a matter of who sinks the bigger points and more importantly how our bombers get in. Axis did great! Communication was key and even with the fuel/long flight frustration most stuck it out and landed those extra points for me (THANKS)!
We were very close with the exception of fighter kills. Well, if we had those numbers in fighters it would of been closer but, rules are rules.
Please correct me if I am incorrect in anyway or counting wrong. If I am correct then what?
