16L G40 BM2 axis-dominion vs JWW (allies)

[axis-dominion]

yah two games actually. my opponents wanted to take axis with a bid, so i just let them.

[666]

do you think they need it? game seems pretty balanced to me. I find the stronger player simply wins most often.

Shouldn’t have broken up my russian forces….

@JWW:

do you think they need it? game seems pretty balanced to me. I find the stronger player simply wins most often.

Shouldn’t have broken up my russian forces….

i initially thought so but after playing and losing to adam’s axis a number of times, i got to realizing axis isn’t all that disadvantaged. you just have to be a lot more aggressive with axis than in vanilla, and can’t be wasting resources on luxury items early on. more focus is needed.

so now i’m of the opinion that an axis bid isn’t really needed. as more expert players join in, we will get to know.

[axis-dominion]

and yah i was surprised by your russian move.

never taken a game this far out before, flying blind, grabbing income over making strategic decisions…a few too many blunders as usual.
