Balance

[zooooma]

Hello.  I’m a long time A&A player and I own most versions of the game.  I do not own 1941  yet.

I recall a couple years ago seeing threads and comments declaring that the allies have virtually no chance of winning against a competent Axis player.  Is this more or less a consensus?  Are there official options available to offset this disparity (like the Restricted Russia and free technology in the GM edition)?

Thanks!

The official FAQ addresses balance issues by granting additional units to the Allies.
