Suggestion: Air Stacking Limit!

Hello! I just love this Afrika Korps game, it's great. I'm currently playing against a human opponent and there is one little issue: the (allied) opponent can just stack his entire Desert Air Force in one region and that makes it virtually unconquerable. Maybe it would be a good idea to set some kind of stacking limit to air units as well? Currently me and my friend is running with a house rule that say max number of air units in a region is half of that regions stacking value, rounded up. So if a region stacking limit is 9, then we are only allowed to bring 5 air units to that region, under any circumstance. I believe it will make the air game a lot more fluid and dynamic! Thanks for considering, and Happy New Year!

Ya, that screen shot of almost 20 air units is CRAZY. (A Game Killer IMO)

i agree 100%. The stacking should be addressed. I also enjoy this game and split the air units to multiple locations but the AI still works from the current stacking. I think this was commented before in Winter War.

Yes, this improvement is scheduled for the next major update. This is a trick that mostly appears in player vs player games, and which is not real "fair play". Your house rule is indeed a good thing.

The plan is to make the air support/stacking limited to a flat value for the game, whatever the region is (making it function of land stacking is a bit 'weird' as there is no real impact of land features on to the sky above...plus, more important, it makes another calculation into the head of players)... we'll probably opt for a flat value stacking value (e.g. 5 or 6), related to the unit's own stacking values (most planes are worth 1 for now).
