I recognize the advantage armor and IFV can bring. However, I wonder if in game point terms if they are worth it? In games with large number of points the vicotry hex points comprise of only a fraction of total points. Loss of a single tank can cost one any where from 300-600 points. So loss of say 5 t90 tanks would cost about 2500-3000 points! very diffult to accumulate this kind of points against an opponent with just infantry tucks and arty units.

Try your theory in practice (PBEM). There are some seasoned players at the Blitzkrieg club.

I also think the victory hexes should be at least one magnitude higher than tzhey are now. However you still can have good battles by eliminating the opposing force .

IMHO a unit is worth as much as it helps you in realizing your battle plan.I think buying only expensive top gear will lead to defeat most of the time, but mixing it with cheaper units some expensive units have their place in a winning team.
