D Day Victory conditions?

[White Raven]

What are your impressions? From total number of games you have played so far, who wins more frequently Germany or Allies? Is it the German side stronger? According to your expiriance, is it necessary to raise the number of turns from 10 to 12?

The game seems pretty balanced to me. Germany wins more frequently, but in my opinion that is because the allied player does not start to play agressive. Still most times when Germany has a victory it is just left with a few (or even 1) infantry units being surrounded by the allies in T10. I haven't played as allies very much yet, but I think I will in advance because its more of a challenge.

Our little group has played four games of D-Day so far and the axis won the first three by holding St. Lo. the fourth game was a narrow allied victory only because we added two more rounds to the game. At the end of ten rounds the axis still held St. Lo as usual. It took the two extra rounds for the allies to get it. We are now looking for ways to vary the game so that it does not play out the same every time. One idea I like is to increase the attack value of the allied airborne units to two. I am even thinking of having the two sides place their own units where they will for the starting setup. I would like to vary the unit types as well. We now have added many new types of units since this game was printed. This might require setting up a D-12 system.
