i feel like you need to post the combat moves and the scrambling responses so we can help decide whether: A; Germany spread himself too thin in his combat moves, B; The rolls were purely unlucky for germ, or C; the Alpha 3 truely is allied slanted. Personal opinion, I think its at least 60% axis 40% allies.
@GeneralT:
Currently I am playing a game of global with alpha 3+ set up. I am the Americans and chinese. and looking at the board and the war Germany rolled her first turn (long story short britan lost a 2 cruisers and a fighter, germany lost all but 1 sub, 1 tac 1 fighter and 1 bomber) the people I’m playing with and myself concluded that to balance (in our opinions alpha 3+ still has axis 40% allies 60%) this game which had swayed allied biased first round, we docked America her starting income. It seemed fair to everyone, including myself as america.
Tl;Dr- America starts turn 1 with 0 IPCs, then collects as normal
Any ideas/opinions/questions/comments?
@Vance:
Japan wipes the pacific if USA can’t (or doesn’t) build some carriers there.
I agree, this gives japan 2 more turns before before he has to worry about the US. He can easily run at india/aussie and be able to wield back around in time to repel the US after squashing one of them.
