Yes, we've made some adjustments today following last night's tourney. Airlift 3 and Merc Heavy Tank cards are now more expensive, and we added +50 HP to headquarters.

Really??? It was not OverPower whatsoever...
Weaknesses:
1. AA
2. Artilery (both major and minor)
3. rebuilding the forces, or whatever the base-healing card is
it was simply a strategy that took advantage of what most decks will lack, then play off that weakness..

One more tweak coming to rectify this a bit.. Heavy Tanks will do 2 less damage against buildings per shot in the next build. This is an interesting strategy, and we want to make sure it's viable but still able to defeat with competent defenses.
Bubbles, you're right, Construction Crew will render this tactic useless, but that's an Ultra Rare and even then you rarely see it being used. We need a smart player to be able to defend against this without Construction Crew.

I don't think making heavy tanks do less damage to buildings was the answer. Just make mercs not able to be air lifted.

Xlom, we don't want to nerf Airlift just yet because it would cripple other strats in an effort to stop this one. We'll try some tweaks first and keep an eye on it.

suggestion...only one merc of each type (and no more than 2 total) can be in play by any player at any time.
