The
'Force adjustment' option in the QB setup screen can be twiddled to put a damper on the US superiority if both players agree.
For example in a Medium-size Meeting with 'No Change' to the setting, both sides get 8500 purchase pts, but if we set it to 'minus 50 %' as below, the Americans only get 4300 pts, but the Russkis still get 8500 (I checked the figures)-
Another way around the US superiority problem if both players prefer not to use the Force adjustment option would be to agree to play a
mirror game where they take it in turns to be the US player.
Another alternative as Raz said, would be for
both players to be US players in the same game.
Anyway, players could play
Ukraine vs Russia battles, they don't need to be US all the time.
Personally I'd like handling Ukrainian forces for a change and am going to run tests later to find out what they can do.
Putin said on TV "I could be in Kiev within two weeks if I wanted", so it'd be interesting to see if his units in CMBS can walk the walk against Ukrainian forces..:)
