Mind the Balance: Update on twelve cards

We are working with full force on finishing Draft mode (expect more news in
the next couple weeks), but we still have steam for a small balance update!

Let’s have a look at the twelve newly updated cards and see what has been changed.

• Overwhelming Force introduces interesting tactical options which we want to promote a bit more. The cost has been changed from 1 to 0.
  
• For Freedom was a bit too expensive. The cost has been lowered from 3 to 2.
  
• B-26 Marauder is a bit underwhelming and has been improved so that enemy units now are +2 more expensive to operate instead of +1 when attacking the enemy HQ.
  
• Hudson Mk III could use some improvements. The operation costs have been lowered from 3 to 2.
  
• 88 mm Flak needed some improvement (especially due to its Ambush ability). Defense has been increased from 3 to 4.
  

• Blackout was a bit too efficient for its cost and rarity. Reduction to pin only a targeted air unit (enemy needs to have an air unit on the board) from pinning all air units.
  
• 33rd Recon Regiment was a bit too strong. Defense has been lowered from 3 to 2.
  
• Aichi D3A-2 and B5N Kate were too strong and have their defense lowered from 3 to 2.
  
• B-17 Flying Fortress is still too strong. Attack and Defense have been lowered from 6 to 5 each.
  
• 10.5 cm leFH was a bit too effective as burn unit. The damage to the enemy HQ on deployment has been lowered from 3 to 2.
  

• Panzer 35(t) effect has been changed from an ongoing dynamic effect to a static, on-deployment effect. Now, the operation cost is reduced by 1 if you control an infantry unit at deployment. Previously, the operation cost was calculated at every change on the board which was not very clear and caused confusion.
