Hey @Grinchveld
I’m also in Kitchener/Waterloo area. I mostly play G40 Global but am open to others.
Send me a private message and we can try to set something up.

I think two things can be true at once, and there’s probably some combination of the below:
On the first point, there’s a consensus among skilled players that OOB favors the Axis. Sometimes it takes a while for a new gaming group to gain enough skill/experience that this starts to show up, and it’s not uncommon for the Allies to win >50% of games in a very inexperienced group.
Mind you, the progression to a high Axis win rate can happen very quickly because the Axis are much easier to script a potent opening for. This appears to be what’s happening in your games, as Germany seems to be using a scripted Moscow crush that your allied players haven’t developed an answer to yet.
Here are some items that are suggesting to me that inexperience is, at least, part of the problem:
Some things that aren’t clear:
So the real question is, how much of your problem is due to the Axis being favored and how much is due to inexperience. The solution to the first is house rules or a bid, the solution to the second is learning.
My best suggestion is to start by downloading TripleA and then view some top tier league games to see what better players are doing as the allies. Then you can mimic/implement some of what you’ve learned. Hopefully that will solve your problem. Sooner or later though, you’ll need a bid/house rule to help, so you could also consider implementing that now.
Unfortunately very few league players are doing OOB these days, so probably the next best option to learn from is BM3 (Balance Mod). It’s a house ruled variant, but at least it’s reasonably close to OOB, so the play is somewhat similar.
Welcome to the forum. Where are you from in Ontario?
We had a Global 40 event in Waterloo/Kitchener not too long ago and might do another in the future. Just wondering if that’s in range for you and if you have interest.
We’re hosting a G40 event around the time of the upcoming Remembrance Day/Veterans Day and we’re looking to have multiple tables of G40 going.
Rumor has it that @Young-Grasshopper may be attending, so don’t miss your opportunity to trash talk him in person.
Short Details:
Date: Saturday November 9, 2019
Location: Waterloo/Kitchener Ontario, Canada
Game Type: Global 1940, Out of Box Rules with Grasshopper’s combined UK Pacific and ANZAC for balance.
Venue address and further details will be sent to those who sign up. Please PM me if you’re interested or have questions.

Excellent, I’ll send you a private message.
Here’s a link to the past event post as well:

I don’t think it’s written anywhere but it’s fairly simple so I can explain here.
It’s conceptually the same as how Canadian units and income are joined into one nation with UK Europe, so hopefully fairly straight forward.
So far we have about 12 players confirmed and waiting on confirmation from some others, so hoping to have 3-4 games going.
Hope you can make it, please let me know as soon as you can confirm if you’ll be there.

By my estimation everyone had a great time and wanted to know when the next event will be. If you’re interested in joining in any future events leave a reply.
