Lady luck, she one mean crazy b*&^#.
And here you have the weirdness of Axis and Allies. Identical openings – radically different outcomes. Without low luck, I am not sure if we can come to any definitive conclusions when people have a “prove it to me” attitude. I guess the best we can do is trust to Larry, and use a bid system to express our personal beliefs. But it is just so gosh darn obvious to me that this current set up is heavily pro axis.
Axis and Allies is more like our national sport of baseball, where the best teams might win 60% of the time. You just can’t prove anything quickly.

I agree that the Axis looks like they have a slight advantage. But I won’t say the game is terribly umbalanced.
I’d say it’s a 55 or maybe 60/40
