Yes, all countries are guilty of this.

25%% gives you a one to two base margin.

30% means one country could be left with 40%.  On some maps like Ndilies, it can be a reason to log off.

If Hitech does not agree with the 25% rule consider a different option. Consider reducing the number of GV walls.  That is a multiple base arrangement where a whole line of bases has no GV access by spawns.    Often, on some maps, that is where base capture stops.

Another option is to increase a C47 troop carrying capacity to its real world WW2 capacity of up to 28 paratroopers instead of 10.  Leave base capture at 10.

The owner of the game stated already a long while ago that no further development would be done. Complaining that wish list items will never get completed is a little disingenuous.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Enjoy that Dale keeps the lights on and you have a swimming hole to play in.

Just because I’m pretty doesn’t give you the right to say I am :old:


If a country wants to get tunnel vision and abandon a front I will take an additional 20% of their bases as a buffer. I invested the time to do it and in so doing I have bought myself the luxury of abandoning that front to focus on the other. This is a man’s game dictated by knowledge, skill, and time invested. Quality of life is relative in Aces High and changes in the blink of an eye.

How often is it necessary to play this card? Rarely


In Summary:
If you don’t like logging in and being down +40% of your bases log in sooner. Otherwise deal with it by linking up with base takers and dig yourself out of the pit. As somebody who does it on a regular basis I must say over time it wears on you.  :cheers:
