16L G40 nerquen (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies) Balanced mode (-4 allied NOs)

@regularkid:

dude. i’m sitting right here. . .

Hey now, all I said is he’s doing way better than my other game - hehe - am I wrong?  :-)

@nerquen:

whoops, China somehow got out of control there… but I mean it is damn hard to play against your allies Gamer, even if the rules were balanced. Anyway, the balanced mod is fun. Nations that often have very limited options in the standard bid game (Italy, Russia, China) have here actually lot of fun. Good thing is the mod is getting played massively now, so the balance can be tweaked.

Still there, kid?
Balance mod is several big steps in the right direction.  You’re right about opening up options.  I can’t very well contain Italy, though somehow I did it vs. kid.  Still there, kid?  :wink:

Now imagine if I had those 3 NO’s….

Which… I have all 4 of them vs. kid, so yeah, apples and oranges.  Still there kid?

Once again I am questioning the conventional wisdom of attacking 97 UK1 in 2nd edition anyway…. I mean… having that carrier in the Indian Ocean is awesome

OOOOHH man!!! My marine took down a bomber!  Woohoo!!!

One of the things I love about Allies in this version is the USA can air strike Japan units in China and every hit makes a Chinaman pop up…. Though I don’t think I’ve even pulled that off yet.  Man, just imagine some US bombers and fighters in East Asia… havoc

Aw, man, what is wrong with me.  I meant to attack the destroyer in 93 with a sub and 2 fighters from Gibraltar

Aren’t you from Europe?  Surprised to see your post
Yep, you got your 22% and hit me twice, and you got your 22% again and I missed twice.  That’s a nice 4%er for you there.  :-(

Wow - that IS early!

@Gamerman01:

One of the things I love about Allies in this version is the USA can air strike Japan units in China and every hit makes a Chinaman pop up…. Though I don’t think I’ve even pulled that off yet.  Man, just imagine some US bombers and fighters in East Asia… havoc

Yes, I’ve used that tactic (and had it used on me) in a few games. Is fun. Creates a new “Flying Tigers” dynamic. Its not something I would go out of my way to do, but if you happen to have some US air withiin striking distance, and an opportunity presents itself to really help China, then absolutely.
