      Beyond my complaining about the dice, I also feel that I made a number of overly risky moves throughout the game that did not pay off (I got the Soviet Bomber/Fighter killed as well by trying strafes that did not work out). I also don’t think I played very efficiently with the US/UK navies in terms of getting troops into Europe.

      Basically, I think Allies are too strong with this setup. I had miserable luck and played badly and Germany still only had ~70-73% on Berlin. In a more equal game I think Allies should be winning most of the time. I think Germany should be allowed to get their Romanian Infantry or the Bay of Biscay Sub back. However, I do agree that Germany should not have their 12 IPC bid at game start. I said as much in the other thread we were all posting in yesterday.

      @VictoryFirst The entire UK airforce (3 FTR/1 BOMB) exchanged for 1 BB/1 TT on turn 1. That was a 1% outcome and had it gone normally (1 bomber dies, the 3 fighters live) Moscow would be ~40%. Will post turns later to play the game out.

      @The_Good_Captain Can’t edit posts in the “Play Boardgames” board but meant to elaborate on removing Germany’s bid.

      If you remove Germany’s bid it allows a greater share of USSR’s starting army to survive the first turn (since that’s generally where the Allied bid will go unless people want to try being creative and keeping some of the UK Navy alive). The lack of a bid for Germany + keeping more of USSR’s starting army alive has a cascading effect on the rest of the game, as it slows down the German advance by ~1-2 turns, which I suspect may be enough for the Western Allies to pursue a more “normal” strategy than what I’d been reduced to in the last few games against you and @VictoryFirst (Fighter spam).

      If the Allies are playing normally and a rush on Moscow is consistently putting up even-ish odds, that’s probably about as good as the balance in this edition is going to get. The OOB Victory Conditions + having USA as a static 30-IPC-per-turn territory and the Allies on-average having 2.5X Germany’s income even after USSR starts to die is never going to create a gameplay loop similar to the “mainline” editions. Germany cannot play a slow game here, nor can they ever simplify the game state to a point where they can.

    • RE: Ragnell804 (Germany) vs TGC (Allies) Game 14

      @The_Good_Captain I think the current balance recommendation is overkill. I think the sub removal or Germany having no bid is sufficient. Leaning towards just removing Germany’s bid as that is more in line with the philosophy you applied to previous editions (with the exception of 1914, where you edited the map itself).

      Alternatively, have you considered having the ME territories be treated as normal, income-generating territories for UK, and ax the current rules regarding ME Payments? That would give UK +8 to their starting income that would (typically) trail off over the course of the game, but they’d have an easier time building a fleet during the first two rounds without needing to resort to shenanigans like a nothing-buy or a Canada-buy B1. That type of change doesn’t seem too far removed over things you recommended in past versions (disallowing attacks on neutrals, mostly)
