9th game completed tonight. That’s 9-0 allies.
Taranto Raid is a standard which cuts off Italy from doing anything.
German factory in Romania, no factory? Doesn’t matter.
Sea Lion? Delays the inevitable.
J1/2/3 attacks. Russia attacking Korea / holding the line / withdrawing some and picketing the rest.
Russian Transports landing in Norway are becoming the norm on non-Sealion games, causing a 17 IPC swing.
Alpha setup? Makes an uphill climb into Everest for the Axis.
Our group contends that if you have players of relatively the same ability playing both sides, and the standards are followed, there is little to no chance of an axis win.
Solutions were are kicking around:
Split US income just like UK. 52 for a KGF is impossible to deal with. 82 is even worse.
Putting a Minor in Romania from the start.
Adding Axis airpower in Europe
Eliminating French Units
Making French units Vichy when Paris falls
Removing the minor IC from S. Italy
Not sure what combo of these to try first…
