I think Allies are overpowerd in balancemod 2 by a good margin. I also think many players have forgotten how to play Allies.
Your all doing it wrong! Id loved to take anyone on and show what magic that can be done with allies. Sadly I cannot because i have 2 children now.
Most times allies loose is because they fail to keep Russia safe first 10-11 rounds. That is a player playing the game outright wrong.
Here are some tips:
-
Kill Italys economy first. All the way so it will never ever recover. This is easy.
-
Dont think so much about UK defence as Sealion leads to Russia taking Romania and allies having good time killing Japan.
Sealion is a death trap for Germany. -
Build ALOT of subs and convoy raid all possible seazones.
-
Build a fleet that mirrors the japanese fleet in the pacific. Dont build a f u x k i n g oversized fleet. Please…
-
Build alot of trannies in the atlantic and the pacific.
-
Always trade units with Germany and Japan to slow them down. Send in trannies to annoy them.
Reward for not doing this is that Germany can focus on Russia and Japan can focus on India. Then you loose. -
As UK. Focus on middeleast and Russia support. Dont build a fleet. You can however build subs and bombers. Wait for US and build trannies whn they arrive.
-
Empty London of landunits lategame. Send them to fight Hitler.
-
Dont loose India and Russia. If you somehow do, move your units away so you can come back and retake it later.
-
Dont ever build: Battleships, Cruisers and AA guns. This have not changed.
-
Dont build alot of tanks with Soviet. Its ok to buy Mec though.
-
Build units and put them into trannies. Dont build to many warships.
-
Russia should dow Japan and support China and India. This is because they have time to do so and then turn back to defend Moscow.
Its not like they can stop early german invation anyway. This have not changed. -
Australia should use all its landunits to attack Japan and support India.
Your doing it right if:
You have a big load of UK fighters and mec in Persia area that supports India and Russia.
Have no landunits and AA guns exept newly build in US or Australia because they all went to attack Japan and Germany.
Have alot of subs convoying and some bombers bombing.
Simplified:
- Attack Italy and make them unimportant.
- Focus on containing Japan but send a small US taskforce to Europe.
- When Japan is somewhat contained attack Germany 100% with US.
- If Russia falls. Move your oversized Russian stack Vologda or Samara. Big problem for Germany.
Keep Germans away from the middeleast. Now UK/India is the new Russia.
Do not plan on defending.
