Did i talk you into doing a bomber only me109T brigs?
No... did people want one? I figured there are other German aircraft I could do if people wanted a German plane. On my scratch list, I have...
JU-388 "Störtebeker" Bomber-P GER ala Black Widow JU-188E2 Bomber-P GER Patrol Bomber Torpedoes HS 129 Bomber-P GER Heavy Strafer He 219 "Uhu" Fighter GER Night Fighter
Obviously I'm not going to do ALL of those...
Shrugs Maybe. Proper carrier based DB could be handy. Without the point premium of a F/B
Scire will be a welcome sight for anybody in the Italian fan club and the pig carriers are probably the biggest gap historically left to be filled in that fleet.
As always the graphics are very sharp and the unit itself will be a toughie to face, certainly needs attention from turn one!
We will see if this is one of the team picks in the other deck as it was talked about a bit and got a few votes so might get in. The carrier ability could be done a few ways I think.
As for the deck as a whole the more cards the better for me, though I understand it's easier said if your trying not to overlap too much. Also I was kinda hoping we'd have more of an idea of the hidden units in the team deck by now to remove all chance of doubling up.

Tricki, here's my concern about Sioux. She's a sister to Algonquin. Algonquin already has the "magic combo" of subhunter + smoke. She's 8 points. Worse, she's class-limited (to 2). I'm hard-pressed to come up with a card that would be different enough (and cost-efficient enough) to ever see play, when most would just want 2x Algonquin. Heck, let's be honest, we'd like 6x Algonquin, please, with a side of maple syrup.

Thoughts?
I can see how that is an issue. Though we do have a number of cards in-game that have plain text, low cost and no special abilities. I looked up her history, possible SA's: Carrier Screen, Battery Silencer, Carrier Escort. In the Repaint Reference forum their is a HMCS Sioux card by ant_S.
If you wanted a different Canadian ship, I would be okay with it.
Erwin Rommel - "Give me American supply lines, British planes, German officers and Canadian troops, and I can take over the world".
Sure, and I could even downcost it appropriately... but... again, I can't imagine anything but whimsy getting me to take her over a second Algonquin. That little DD has it all.
I guess with Carrier Screen and Carrier Escort you might use her in a CV group.
I know you want a card to give your friend for the HMCS Sioux, I get that.
I also have HMCS Saskatchewan (DD CAN F-class Similar to Fearless... Night Fighter / Raider)? on my list...
Now for one that's been on my list forever. French submarine Pallas, a Minerve-class 2nd-class submarine. Something I promised MNorthstars for his Vichy. I'd originally looked at Thetis, a Circe-class sub, but they are game-wise identical, and the Minerve-class has no class limit. Scuttled in '42 at Oran during the Allied landing.
This is a cheap "squeezer" boat for the French. Obviously nothing beats Beveziers, but this is only 8 points.
Thanks! MinnesotaNorthstars wanted one for a while, and HeavyGear talked me into making it Minerve-class (instead of Thetis, a Circe-class). Hope it pleases them both and sees some play!
