A few years ago we introduced Dynamic Points to the Flames Of War Mid-War period and it been an excellent tool to refine the points of those units that have either under or over-performed. Earlier in 2024 we rolled out our initial pass of suggested changes for World War III: Team Yankee, focusing on modern Main Battle Tanks, helicopters and anti-aircraft systems. These initial changes were effective and a good start, but we felt that top end MBTs still needed a little help. Based on customer feedback we’ve also reviewed some of the AA units used by some of the small NATO allies and reduced the points cost of S-Tanks slightly.
For customers reviewing these changes for the first time you can quickly see the impact of these changes on the Forces Of War website. Here we added an option in the account page where you could switch between Book Points and Dynamic Points.
Over the course of the next 10 months we will continue to review the performance of these units (and everything else) and propose a list of changes for player feedback late in the year.
These changes replace the 2024 version – if there is a unit that was included in the previous version of Dynamic Points that is not there now, then that unit has ended up reverting to its points in the appropriate book. Likewise once Forces Of War is updated any saved lists will then reflect the updated 2025, not 2024, points.
We look forward to hearing your ongoing feedback about Dynamic Points and the areas that need review in the next year. |
