They change the “rules” every time we turn around.  They change how much units cost all the time why is the latest iteration sacred?  If you can win the game most of the time just by building 1 unit then that unit is too powerful and it should be made more expensive or less powerful in values.  There has been a continual struggle over decades to keep A&A games balanced and to act like one unit value or one specific rule is unchangeable is silly.  The fact is the bomber strategy makes a mockery of the game and I won’t use it even if it works, I would prefer that a strategy to neutralize it would emerge (short of bids going into the 30s) but if it doesn’t the game needs to be adjusted for the enjoyment of those who play.  No one wants to play a game where one and only strategy dominates.

I did think you were a little timid with Russia but when UK is out of the game its hard not to be, if you screw up Russia that’s it.  My thought was that you went a little too hard after London and kind of let Japan off the hook when you had them down around 38-40 IPCs for a while, felt like a little more spending in the Pacific might have kept them hemmed in for a long time but hard to say.

rgp wins against Alex in Play-off #2 final match. Congrats!

Gratz rpg, well fought. In the middle of the game I thought the Allies are winning because Russia was very strong and Japan looked quite crippled. However, you showed how to overcome that.

Thanks JDOW, Japan was hanging on by the skin of their teeth, Germany occupied just enough of US’s attention to let Japan recover and expand, was dangerously close on all fronts throughout the game.  The Italian breakthough in Egypt (great dice) in mid-game tipped the scales i think.

Thanks, was a tough game, if not for that Egypt combat i think you probably win.

going to need to postpone this game for the holidays, will pick it up in 2017.
