I voted “Game is Balanced”, of course.
@Cow:
as long as germany buys 3 mech 3 tank or 2 tran 1 carrier round 1. japan buys xports and an inf or art or mech round 1, axis should win.
After reading such a beauty, i cannot vote other than Game is balanced.
So this comes out to half think balanced & half think axis favored.
In garg’s tournament half the japan players are morbidly depressing to watch. You see a huge difference in how games unfold when japan DOWs J1 or J2 as compared to J3 (I think of J3 DOW as conceding/throwing the game/giving chance).
The poll maybe too early Cow, people- including myself need about 20-30 games in still. There are a lot of mistakes we are all making on BOTH sides- Axis and Allies.
Yes half think it is Axis adv.- then again they are a little easier to play. Each week someone is coming up with new Allied countermoves to try. I’m really gonna say its balanced until I am certain Allies just can’t win with solid play on both sides.
If you are right, then I do like the Russian bomber over 3-4 infantry in India or Russia or an SS in the Med. The bomber is downright sexy- very intriguing.
Here is the other poll on Larry’s site- 50% say balanced, 33% say Allies ad, 17% say Axis ad.

Together then about 50% say balanced
about 40% say Axis ad
about 10% say Allies ad
interesting…
Only 10% believe allies have an advantage, maybe I am not so crazy after all for thinking axis advantage.
