Title: capturing large airfields = more troops needed!
Post by: 1K3 on August 14, 2005, 08:04:03 PM
capturing large airfields = more troops needed!

Small airfields = 10 troops
medium airfields = 20 troops
large airfields = 30 troops

vehicle field = 10

port = 10

I like it, of course I mentioned this in a previous thread :-)

7 years later this wish is still valid.

I'd be OK with having a variable number of troops necessary to capture different types of fields.

 Good idea,but one thing would remain,horde size.  they harder it is to take a base the larger the hordes will increase.

I'd have to say it's a valid idea, though it should read more like this:

10 = Small Field/V-Base
20 = Medium Field/Port
30 = Large Field.

As for the horde thing, meh.

Sure, as long as C-47s carry 28 troops like they actually did in operation....  :aok

That, or bring in the JU-52... it can be slower and carry more?

Leave the M3's, etc at 10 troops.

Or, have it to where fields with X troops in the map room are contested and aren't re-popping the hangars magically every 15 minutes... slow it down or whatever.

I think if this were made a rule the size of the hordes would become much bigger.

My squads lazy habit of closing down whole fields was a direct result of the town layout change from the old square towns to what we have now.  When they were 1st introduced they had no flag pole and 100% of the town needed to be destroyed. 

The base capture squads will just hit fields harder and with bigger #s.

I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about having a variety of town layouts and sizes.  Anti-vehicle manned gun emplacements might be fun as well and maybe a special one of these or maybe more that are manable by the attacking force to simulate resistance fighters when trying to regain a country's original territory back.
