Tried Alpha +1 for pacific only. Still very very hard on the Allies. I played Japan. we’re both pretty good axis players… Is there an Alpha 2 setup for Pacific? We may play it stand alone a few more times, but ultimately it appears broken and we probably will use it as an accessory for Global.
My friend JJ has a few Allies Ideas to try and I wanted to try the build a Major IC in Manchuria by US strategy and roll out some AA guns. But seriously… it still greatly favors the Axis/Japan. OOB Anzac gets a Major and in the Alpha 1 Anzac gets a minor. Seriously? Its like kicking the allies in the face when they’re already face down in the mud. also the elmination of US bombers is a kicker .
Japan didn’t loose much a few aircraft, and face a tougher China, but it made little to no difference. I built 2 minor IC’s by the 2nd turn and kicked the crap of of india.
Granted the US player didn’t threaten Japan very much by turn 5, but still its a huge huge uphill battle for the Allies and it really shouldn’t have been since Japan realistically never got close to India
