VP Garrison hit review?

[xhoel]

I just got my turn playing the GC as the Axis against Hghx-0 and opening the VP screen I was shocked to see that I had lost 31 VP last turn from garrisons. The reason? My Garrison in Denmark was one (1!) CV point short of the required 100%. The regiment that was being transferred there was one hex shy of crossing the Danish border. To put things in retrospective the WA in 10 turns have managed to get 98 VPs from bombing. The idea of Garrison VPs is one that I like and is an elegant solution to make the Germans commit units in Western Europe but to suffer such a huge penalty for something so small is simply ridiculous and needs to be fixed.

Yes, and moreover - if you get the allied landing force back into the sea after landing the garrison requirements will also get back to their standarts without any delay.
I've played recently 43-45 campaign vs AI and lost something about 400 VPs on the next turn after a succesful counter-landing offense in France, and probably would lose even more because of the transportation limits (i stoped playing after that).

Can't really blame you, it's hard not to rage quit with such mechanics.

I play against the AI and always ignore the VPs. I either decide on a victory condition for myself or more often than not just play the game and and leave it at that.

I realise that's harder to do when playing against another person.

Ofc in that case you can decide for yourself if what you achieved counts as a success or a failure but that is hard to do against another human player. I still enjoy doing better than the real life Axis though, but such big hits on the VP are simply terrible.
