I remember a discussion many years ago about the carrier aviation guys influencing SFB. Many players liked it. I am not a fan. It changes the entire SFU and is detrimental to playability.

I play Flames of War as well but I've got much bigger "early and mid war" armies than late war with A9, A10, and Crusader Cruisers along with Valentines, Matildas, an MkIV Churchills. Thoug ... |

Yes, because you can never have to many miniatures.
Yes, but I don't have a whole garage to store them in like some people!

I'm fond of the traditional "fleet mix" too. All "munchkin" ship fights tend to be boring slugfest of attrition. Battles with a mixture have more action, with little ships going bo ... |
