I understand. If you started to play with others, preferably the league, I believe that would force a change of perspective. :)
The main thing is that Axis has a lot easier winning conditions. 8 VC in EU or 6 VC in Pac. So it’s not about units, but mainly momentum.
In OOB it is more or less impossible to hold on to Moscow past G6, if the german player is dedicated to Barbarossa.
Japan has a fairly easy task of crushing India as well, which leaves the two sides with 7 respective 5 VC.
Without a hefty bid it’s simply sayonara.
