Won only once??
Hmm…strange, in our games mostly the allies win. But mostly it really depends who is playing the germans.
The game really is well balanced in my opinion. But the challenge in playing with germans is that you have the most widest battle front. The sea warfare and the soviet union side. So you can easily mix up what you had to do and because of that helping the allies…
All three allied players really have simple plans and some difficult. Mostly trying to help the soviets against german and disrupting his plans…
Love the game, can’t say nothing else. If they made a new world version with lot’s of places in it, it would be interesting. Adding example both Europe and Pacific.
How many of you use paratroopers??
Our rules in them are simple. One bomber can take one infranty, if they started the turn on the same place. It can drop the infranty anywhere where the bomber can reach, but the bomber has no attack value and must stay one battle round in the place, before it can retreat. The inf who is dropped attacks on 2 in the first round and after that 1.
So dropping a paratrooper where there are 2 defending inf, there is a possibility that they can take the one bomber with them. AA gun fires normally the bomber…
This rule makes the playing the germans more difficult. And helps the allies to distract the german player. In our opinion it really balances the game more and brings new tactics. The german player can’t leave lands behind unoccupied so easily unless he wants to lose them and losing troops to take them back…
