Hey BBB… wow, this is an old game! I think I’ve forgotten how to play Alpha 2 :-o
Also forgot what a miserable start I had from Germany! Going to be a rough road ahead, but let’s definitely continue.
Moves for J2 here shortly.
Yep, an old one.
As for Alpha2, I always said… and will always say : It’s a SHAME that Alpha 2 didn’t have to chance to be properly play tested before Alpha 3 came. Alpha2 is fairly balanced, as I demonstrated many times. Only little fine tuning was needed, not much. Surely not a whole bunch of new rules. Alpha3 arrived way too fast and I feel it’s because Alpha2 was unfairly and too quickly judged cracked.
A so called “All pacific US strategy” was supposed to be a sure win for allies… in fact, it’s a complete flop against any fair Axis player.
Everybody that told me Alpha 2 was sure win for Allies… well they lost with allies. Either against me or someone else here.
Furthermore, the tourney which is going on show more Axis victories!
Even better, many players bet negative to play axis… and still win!! How could it be more balanced?
But, it’s not the place to debate that issue… let’s enjoy this game!! :-D
Sorry for the delay. its SXSW here in Austin and been busy. Finally got a chance to decide what to do with Japan. Too many choices!
Not sure if I am all that good of a player but I will give it a go. With the German loss in France, going to be a tough road ahead… but, it will be good to see how I do with my back against the wall.
