Adam vs JuanSpain (Axis) Global balanced mod 2.0

Haha yeah agreed, and we’re managing this pace even though we have a 6 hour difference between us. It must be a similar pace to your axis-dominion game?

I wouldn’t be able to move for another 6-7 hours anyway so no worries.

@JuanSpain:

Good game!

As expected I am far from being competitive in this version. After my first game, I like it, you have done a good work in this version.  Congrats!

Hard work for me to reach the top here… because strategy is quite different, but I will continue to play at least some more games before deciding. I suppose that even being less competitive I will switch to this mode in next league.

First thoughts: Axis has clearly lost its advantage, I had good dice initially and even with that I was not opponent at any time, but it is also true that my strategy was wrong, so it is soon to say that allies have advantage. I see now how important is fighting the new allies objectives, and I permitted most of them to you too long time + the stupid idea of building a fleet in med, which I don�t do since long time, but I wanted to test how it could work here in balanced mode given the game was for fun, wrong idea, no way it can face allies fleet long term, and I missed that money on land russian front.

My turn with allies, show me what a good base strategy for Axis is. You can set it up when you wish.

Thx

Good game! And thank you for the kind words.

Yes the Axis advantage has definitely been reduced. I do predict that Axis will still be favored when people get used to BM though, we’ll see.

I’ll set it up now.

If you had kept pushing Russia instead of buying that Med fleet Allies might have been in trouble. You didn’t achieve much with that Med fleet too.
