Yes. If they would take Carpiquet there will be rain anywayGottaLove88s wrote: VOTE: Carpiquet airfield has a bonus impact for the Germans (if the Germans lose Carpiquet, they lose their Fw190s). I want to add an extra sweetener for the Allies, so that if the Allies take Carpiquet their Typhoon ground attack aircraft recycle time will be reduced from 3 turns (normal) to 2 (with Carpiquet). The Allies will lose this bonus if they lose Carpiquet, but if they hold it, they have it. YES or NO?
Honour79/Alexis and I have just started the tourney game. Sadly I don't have time to participate in the tourney.GottaLove88s wrote:Thanks P-A, Well, let's see... He's got a lot of armour coming your way, lol...
Btw, since many of the GJS'44 guys are already playing Carpiquet (in the Normandy Ninjas tourney) it would be fair for you to familiarise yourself with it too, if you wished to? I'm not guaranteeing that it won't change (right now, it's proving impossible to crack, but I have some evil tactics that I'm working on) but, in general, Carpiquet will look a lot like it does in Ninjas...
Have fun both. If you figure out any new ways to crack Carpiquet as Allies, please PM me!cavehobbit wrote:Honour79/Alexis and I have just started the tourney game. Sadly I don't have time to participate in the tourney.
I'm inclined to say since they have to fly further inland they should be extended to a 4 turn wait.GottaLove88s wrote:PLAYER VOTE: READ BELOW
Gents,
Some of us are playing the Carpiquet airfield map in the Normandy Ninjas tourney... The map itself is challenging, at least it is from the direction that the Allies come at it for the tourney (but you guys are all experts at picking the best approach routes to target sectors by now, right?).
However, other than the problems posed by the map/approach, an important issue is that Tigers and Panthers working as a team completely outclass the Allied tanks, despite giving the Allies significant numerical superiority (24 Allied tanks to 8 Germans in the tourney game).
To keep GJS'44 fun as we get into the arrival of MUCH stronger German heavy tanks... here's a proposal, which I'd like all players/commanders to vote on...
VOTE: Carpiquet airfield has a bonus impact for the Germans (if the Germans lose Carpiquet, they lose their Fw190s). I want to add an extra sweetener for the Allies, so that if the Allies take Carpiquet their Typhoon ground attack aircraft recycle time will be reduced from 3 turns (normal) to 2 (with Carpiquet). The Allies will lose this bonus if they lose Carpiquet, but if they hold it, they have it. YES or NO?
In reality, this would increase the maximum number of Typhoon strikes per 20 turn battle, from 5 strikes (3 turn wait, plus 1 turn assignment, divided into 20) to 6 (2 turn wait, plus 1 turn assignment), but over the course of the campaign these extra strikes should be worth having. Sometimes they get shot down. Sometimes they do nothing except miss and reveal recon. Sometimes, as in a current game with Arcticpost, he can bag a Tiger and a Panther at the same time, because I was foolish enough to park them back to back...
Votes and thoughts please gentlemen?

Just because I've never lost a FOG battle against him(I think) it doesn't mean I'm some kind of BA wizard
And yes, you win every FoG game we play...
