@Narvik Nice. we might have more in common than we think then. I was also in the military. I did four years active duty and then four more in the reserves.
Just between you and me, I know the five versions of which I speak are imbalanced (unless and until someone comes along and shows me a strategy that was missed). I also know that Pacific 1940 is imbalanced, Global 1940 is imbalanced, Guadalcanal appears to be imbalanced and Pacific (2000) is imbalanced. I just don’t have series done on them yet. I also have it on good authority that 1942 is imbalanced. If you listen to the community at large, you’ll hear that Anniversary is balanced when it just isn’t (at least the 1941 setup - but if you bring in the National Objectives, then both are imbalanced).
I only have about 20 or so games under my belt of the above list where I have at least 30-40 of the versions I have a series for. To mention all these and the caveats is to lose the attention span of most audience members and so it is left out. Those games will be rated when their series’ are complete. This has a lot to do with a thoroughness and attention to detail that I’ve learned in the military. I grant that the thumbnail was “over my skis” but that has been/ will be fixed.
In which version of axis and allies can submarines shoot down planes?
