Or if you're playing RedFor, you have a couple different options. Also, I, for one, welcome our new Super Hornet overlords.

Last set of screenshots for a while, I promise. Orren and I played a game, and my air strike of 8 Super Hornets ended up running in to a flight of five or six SU-27Ks as they opened fire on Orren's fleet. Also, from earlier in the same game, this SU-27K tried to pull a kamikaze.

Neat!
Also I disagree with your assessment of NK. They are a joke army. Even with NAVAs they just can't stand against any air attacks. I played against my buddy and his jets just flew around unchallenged destroying all my strong points. In a team game it is different since they have some good arty. The support variant with lots of cannons is pretty great.
Also the Malyuka with the strellas and ATGM is awesome.

I should have been more clear. NK isn't a GOOD army, but it's a FUN army. Masses of artillery, good cheap infantry, a respectable air force and selection of helos, and extremely lulzy transport options. Their missiles are mostly crap, and their tank selection is mediocre (although their T-72 is one of the most cost effective mediums in the game, but they get boatloads of them. They are the spam army from hell, and as long as you don't play Destruction, they're just so much fun to use.
I have, however, found little to love north of the Yalu. China's infantry are mostly pretty awesome, but they're not the only nation boasting a robust selection of troops. Their tanks are surprisingly punchy, but still get their teeth kicked in by NATO heavies. Their AA is mostly terrible, their air force is horrid, and their helo selection lacks proper gunships, which really hurts. Their only saving grace is an excellent vehicle section, but even with that, I find them underwhelming.

Straight to the Point really is a great map, it's one of my top five favorites.

Thread Necro to give people a heads up that the free Warsaw Pact DLC is releasing tomorrow. Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia are getting over 60 new units between them.

exciting times ahead!
I need to start looking at making more than just british armies! (that said, I'm still only just getting an idea of how best to use these units!)
really I need something that allows me to be more aggressive (emptyhat's coalition decks still score much better than me in most games)

So, I figured out how to fight against up to seven AI armies at once.
In related news, a single A-10 managed to rack up 317 tank kills in a single match, with the other one clocking 290.

Did the latest patch lower the number of activation points for general NATO decks. I also notice that my Chieften 2's are now overpriced.

So I assume the AI didn't have any SPAAGs. Did the latest patch lower the number of activation points for general NATO decks. I also notice that my Chieften 2's are now overpriced. Chieftain is now officially awful. The entire Brit tank line is now officially mediocre, except possibly the AVRE.

They did. The match went on for like two hours, so they ran out. That's when the A-10s come out to play.
