I guess the best way to explain this phenomena is that for the Axis, this game is a race against time. Â
Achieve your VC count quickly (or relatively fast) or face the fact that eventually the US will be able to deny Axis VC’s in both theaters and grind the Axis into submission.
Simply allowing the game to continue lets the Allies play hyper conservative until the Allies achieve and then exceed the starting advantage the Axis has in units on Round 1. Â
After that, its basically game over for the Axis because the production curves for the Axis and Allies dramatically switch as the Axis will be unable to replace units as quickly and effectively as the Allies will.
If anything, I suggest a joint VC house rule for the Axis to prevent the all-in Germany/Italy/Japan vs Moscow strategy.
I’m unfamiiar with VC, so could you by chance go into detail a bit more? Whats a joint VC? The All-in, what is that?
