Thank you again for all the helpful advice. You were right on my misstep with Germany building 10 units on Paris instead of 3. You also have good ideas about buying artillery, which I was thinking because you can combine them with infantry to get attack or defense at 2. And the United States targeting Norway/Denmark/Western Germany combined with bombers is helpful. Thanks again for all the great advice from such nice players; you guys are awesome.

GAME BALANCE POLL FOR G40 FINAL ALPHA
-
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 adinteresting…

Only 10% believe allies have an advantage, maybe I am not so crazy after all for thinking axis advantage.
