Default Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Gonna have to disagree with ya 100%. I've now played the game out another SEVEN MONTHS and not a single Marine unit. I dont believe its even possible for me to win now since I cant the bases in time required for B29 raids or certainly not to take away enough of Japan's Oil.

And I would wager that REGARDLESS of your strategy, there is no way to win as the Allies with only 2-3 Marine units all game. That has nothing at all to do with deciding axis of advance or strategy or even historical results. Its simply bad luck or bad design that does not reflect reality in any way, shape, or form (seriously? I cant drive by the wreckage of Wake which is a few 100 miles away from my fleet, but I can sail clear back to the US West Coast, then to Alaska, and then onto Japan just fine?!?!).

As I said above, each player should be guaranteed at least enough Amphibs to be ABLE to win. On top of that, DESTROYED bases should not inhibit movement. That would give more incentive to actually protect and expand your bases unlike now where once you have it, its a permanent roadblock unless your opponent lucks into some Marines.
