Jmite (axis) vs Jenn(allies) alpha 3 no tech v10/25 game 2

Yea..., you'da prolly had to have only 1-4 hits and my attack with almost 100% accuracy...

If I get stuck with Allies again, I want to have a 20 IPC bid, half for India.  Or we can swap sides.

Happy to play another, with me as allies. Thanks for playing allies two in a row. After the previous axis loss I wanted to try something new to see how it worked out. Not quite the strategy I had originally intended, but same result -- ie win in Pacific was the objective.

After playing allies twice now with the new alpha 3 rules, do you think the advantage has swung to the axis? We had a split 2 games with each power winning, but perhaps you feel the axis have the inherent advantage now?

Let me know if you start a new thread as axis

Cheers

No, I don't think the advantage swung.  I think the advantage was straight up erased and replaced with a "no hope" sign.

interesting -- you think it is so far in axis favor that allies have very low chance of winning now? Less than 30% (ie ~1 out of 3 games)? The 1 in 3 game model is what I typically considered balanced, with the axis winning 1 in 3 (I like when axis are the tougher powers to play with two equally skilled players; mostly a holdover from classic AA)

Thou shall see what I mean. 

I'd say, just based on what I have seen so far mind you, there's about a 1 in 8 chance the allies will win.    Maybe 1 in 7.  Now, that does not mean we won't discover something in the next few hours that changes my opinion!
