@pacifiersboard no intercept, for the case you wanted to ask ;-)

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@crockett36 I’ll resign. If you playtest in oob, let me know.

Thanks for the game. Can you post the result?

I found it hard to understand the lack of transports in the Pacific when you ruled the waves there and the Middle East was too weak. I think you could have hurt Japan more than what you did. Italy was also incredibly strong this game.

I note that you didn’t like the mod so much but I don’t understand what the big deal about a couple of small objectives that they can potentially get is. If the allies prioritise stopping them, they can do so. I reckon the Med is spiced up by having extra objectives there. Getting a bit more money for USSR is really important and I don’t know how you could argue that point.

If we played OOB, that wouldn’t be so much a playtest I would say.
