Perhaps not but I think axis have the edge is in this version yet I got a bid. In version 2 the allies had the edge though. Guess that shows it is close to balanced with these changes, an achieve some love more than others.

[crockett36]

@simon33 Well, let’s not forget that I blew the whole playtest by not understanding how to use the French and instead gave them to you, kill them or were killed by them. We should also remember that I am not playing this as a bm game because I have cared to learn the rules. I would not take this as a significant sample at all.

IIRC you let me get away with holding some islands in the Med which denied you some objectives. You held Moscow longer than I was expecting you to but the Middle East was always way too weak. I think I spent a lot of troops on claiming Gibraltar all the time which I am not sure was worthwhile. Kept giving you some troops to kill.

Anyway, seems that the Axis have some momentum now, so long as you can’t kill the fleet in the Indian Ocean somehow. Especially if Japan can clean up China.
