RE: RS Sorrow on Saipan - Design Notes - Kool Kat - 01-21-2012 Gents: I have made the following changes in my Rising Sun "Sorrow on Saipan" in the H2H Testing Section: Version 1.3 (Updated January 28, 2012) Americans - Moved off board naval guns "back" (25,-77) so the Hill 500 summit hexes are at maximum range and shells can't strike the reverse slopes. - Removed 1x 14 inch naval gun. Japanese - Removed 2x 75mm guns + 2x pack horses - Removed 2x trenches - Added 2x 80mm dual purpose guns defending from bunkers - Added 1x 70mm mortar Map - Replaced unpaved road with trail (Hill 500 summit + hexes leading up to summit) Other - Moved 2x VPs hexes to reverse slopes Hopefully, with the above changes... the elusive "balance" will be achieved?

The above changes don't seem something that would alter balance drastically. Moving the bunker a hex forward means that everyone in it will be killed by naval artillery as it will be in LOS immediately. Kind of enjoying the game as it is now...

Will wait for current play testers feedback... before making any changes to scenario! :whis: Other test players have suggested lowering the strength of the naval artillery? However, the 75mm guns current positions, in the trenches by the 50VP, are too vulnerable to close assault / overrun... as "demonstrated" by one of the play testers against me!

No issues so far. Although I personally think it would be better to play with EA "on", but let's wait till we finish it.

The American Marines... once they get into entrenched positions in heavy jungle terrain... are nearly impervious to any damage (strength reductions or dispersions ) by the the Japanese... and that's playing with EA = OFF! Toggle EA = ON... and those tough American Marines become "super bad" tough!

I don't play much RS, so maybe it's me but the Japanese weaponry seems so inferior, even at close range. Perhaps the defense factor of the marines is very high? Haven't checked. RE: RS Sorrow on Saipan - Design Notes - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-21-2012 Huib, you hit the nail on the head. The Japanese are simply too weak to shoot back or counterattack. Pillboxes out of initial line of sight and the victory hexes moved to the back of the hill might help? The Marines would still have to go over it?  HSL |
