I think I’m going to throw in the towel on this one.  I liked the idea of the russian tech thing, but the axis income is just too much to overcome

I will post the result
gg simon

[simon33]

I was feeling the result wasn’t in much doubt - except that USSR force heading to Berlin, but when that didn’t get in I thought it was done.

I think you lost this game by not buying enough artillery in Moscow. More art and you could have kept me out of Bryansk for a turn at least on the Moscow drive.

I’d be interested in another game as allies. I feel like I’d play it somewhat differently second time around.

want a pair of balance mod games?

[simon33]

@variance:

want a pair of balance mod games?

Never played balance mod before. Don’t see the need for a lot of the changes in it, although some are good. Mainly SBR.

[regularkid]

@simon33:

Never played balance mod before.

First time for everything. . .  :mrgreen:

[variance]

Balance Mod is far superior.  My only beef is that USA tends to become the megasuperpower and Russia doesn’t get fairly represented historically, but in terms of game play it’s the way to go IMHO.  Anyway if you’re up for trying it lemme know
