Yeah, I agree with Frimmel.
I think straight up, the Aliies have the adv, but it is clearly not like Classic and a slighlty down roll on R1 (Belo or Ukr) or a slight G1 roll up could make the game even real quick if not shift the balance.
I think 3-5 IPC in Lib is a great start just to help Germany from a potential screw job if the inf, arm, AND ftr all hit in Egy on defense.
After a few games, I think the 6-9 range is good to spread between both G and J if you want to really make the Allies work.
Personally, I’m really hesitant to give up 9 or more b/c I don’t want to see Germany with the ablity to place 3 inf, also with 8 you run the risk of seeing Germany drop a tran somewhere, which could throw you for a loop.
