Yes, I think OOB Europe is imbalanced in many ways. After the right strategy became apparent, so far I have only lost 1 game as Germany with OOB rules out of 13 games in total, and that loss was mainly caused by a combination of surprise (my opponent put 4 infantry in Bessarabia and I had never faced that bid before) and terrible dice.

Let’s play with the balance. Right now I am testing with Ragnell and TGC with an additional German infantry removed from Romania, not sure if you have tried that out before but it seems to have a positive effect on the balance.

@Ragnell804

Great, I’ll do 4 infantry in Ukraine.

@VictoryFirst

It looks like the players - once again - have to take care of the game rules themselves. As v1 rules differ from the Europe 1999 -rulebook.

OK, that’s fine with me. I’ll start a new OOB game in a second.

Moscow battle: -28.78 / -52 (this one doesn’t really matter but I’ll still include it)
Total: -142.09 / -85

Well that TUV Differential went down fast after the Belorussia battle lol.

@VictoryFirst

Sure we can try it

@VictoryFirst

yes, same bid as last time

@VictoryFirst No worries. Yesterday was a holiday in the US so I did that have the time or enthusiasm to jump into another game immediately.

@VictoryFirst said in VF (Germany) vs. DoMan (Allies) | Original Europe, Game 1:

I didn’t know your exact strategy before this game, during the game I realized I could afford to build one more round of tanks without Berlin becoming in danger.

I think with the balance this strategy might have some more success, as long as you put a little more money into attacking Berlin as well.

TGC and I discussed this same potential weakness (Germany builds the extra round of Tanks because Berlin is not in danger) in the strategy last week when I initially rolled it out so I assumed he’d shared my concerns with you as well. I am going to spend some time thinking about ways to strike a better balance of force distribution and get back to you. I am not very good at making major innovations on the fly, unfortunately.

Sure thing. Thank you so much for playing by the way, out of everything the opponent is the most valuable when playing games 😀

@VictoryFirst For some reason my computer wont let me start the game. would you be so kind and start a game.

@Ragnell804

Thanks for the game. Did you want to go again?

Hi all,

The existing TripleA module for Europe doesn’t take care of all rules, such as the Middle East or Strategic Bombing Raids. That’s why I made some improvements to this module to enhance the gaming experience.

The module is available for download directly via TripleA. Click on “Download Maps” and look for the map called “Europe Improved”.
