Forgot to Blitz Alexandria so I did it during NCM.
oysteilo and mikawagunichi vs crockett36 & Stucifer team Gamerman's setup
-
@crockett36 @Stucifer You guys nabbed a plane and the Canadian transport lives, getting close to gg here!
Mikawa released his ships to operate independently of his flagship, and at 01:31 he ordered "Every ship attack."

@mikawagunichi you lost a chunk in France too! Nice opening for the Allies.
I will be surprised if Allies win all the games. Shocked, even.
I would wager on Gamerman and Booper in their match against Daaras and FranceNeedsMorePower. And I think we’re in for a rough time against mikawagunichi and Oysteilo, neither of them are slouches here!
And yes, I love the game for what it is, but I think the game was developed with a different focus.
Some of the A&A games are quite well balanced (Anniversary 1942 setup without National Objectives, and 1942 2nd Edition), while others are wildly unbalanced – 1940 Global and 1914. Classic was also heavily Allies-favored, without the Russia rule for round one.
I’m fine with that, I enjoy these games a lot. As a kid I would tinker with the pieces on the Classic map and make up different scenarios for a “WW3” style setup. The flexibility of the game mechanics being commutable to many different versions is a testament to the excellence of its design foundation. I’m more in the tinker & improve camp myself, I have spent countless hours making alternative setups, such as a 1942 setup for PtV and a 1942 setup for YoungGrasshopper’s Tournament edition.

A couple of considerations. I think J1 is really hard to do with the current set up, so that is probably something to consider for future games. It looks like a J1 will leave china for china (with the extra chinese set up power). I have not studied it carefully so I can be wrong
As for bids. Bids depend on so many things and I think maybe the game was not designed for online play with battle calculator? My friend and I never use bid when we play face to face. Instead we use beer and wine. In addition we dont use battle calculator either so all “calculations” are just a best guess. With these limitations it is very possible for the allies to win this game with the OOB set-up
