  Returning to my favorite topic - Unit Balance

  however the game would be a little unfair if aircrafts were able to zip around the place and ignore all but other aircrafts.

  Firstly, AIRCRAFT  is both singular and plural.

  Secondly, aircraft CAN zip around and ignore nearly everything except other aircraft.  That is why they are effective combat weapons in the real world.  In WeeWee they are seriously overpriced, overly vulnerable and underpowered. So, either reduce the cost of aircraft significantly or increase their effectiveness, i.e.  allow them to fly around all over the place ignoring everything except other aircraft, AckAck and destroyers.

  Get rid (or seriously nerf) extra sides advantage

  Desent:  How do you know you received a +12 attack advantage?  Is there an attack advantage display of which I am unaware?

  Unit Types

  Everyone should take a look at Chris Eliot's game, Empire Master.  Even if you are not Macish look at the documentation and the way he has laid out the rules and unit specification in the editor.

  @dpache:

  Anecdotal arguments do carry a lot of weight.  Your ability to defeat a weaker player who misplayed a powerful piece is not a counter-argument to it being a game breaker for equally skilled players.

  If the big, bigger, biggest argument is valid for artillery there is a strong argument that it is also true for any other unit.

  I made an argument in favor of Heavy Infantry some time ago.  Check the Heavy Infantry thread.

  The problems I have with the game are the counter-intuitive nature of the units - they don't behave like what they are labeled, discrepancy of scale prevents combined arms tactics - naval too cheap/powerful  & air too weak/expensive, an overly complex combat results function- I've gone into this often and cost-effect ratios are not well well realized.

  WeeWee is an okay game with some serious flaws.  That some players have learned to use those flaws to their advantage does not mean they are not flaws.

  You may consider them soft, Streen, but the combatResult function treats them as hard.
