Good discussion. In my playgroup, NO’s off/Dardanelles closed/escort & interceptor allowed/tech allowed (but rarely used)/6-12 bid to allies (typically +2inf on eastern front, +1inf in Egypt, +1 inf in Yunan) seems to provide a fairly balanced game.

When we played with NOs on, the ability of the axis to couple their starting hardware advantage with near economic parity by round 2 or 3 (before the US is even “in the game”) always resulted in axis win. We didn’t take the time to figure out what the bid for the allies needs to be to have a balanced game with NOs on but I suspect it might be between 25-30 IPCs. Of course, our predictable play might be the actual issue!

Thanks for the info! I’ll try this out on 3A. Whether over the board or on 3A we don’t tend to go that tank heavy (although at 5 IPC a piece, it’s been tempting) - too hard to get away from the old habit of stocking up on infantry.

Have you tried this method over the board yet? We tend to play no NO’s and Dardanelles closed - would this adversely affect this strategy in your opinion?

Two big, slow tanks, duking it out, almost like battleship fights (or not)-no other units (infantry, artillery, support units, aircraft, and others) are not allowed. Both sides are fully fuelled and loaded with ammunition. Both tanks never break down. Both tank crews are equal in capability. Who wins? Thank you!
