What is making Alpha 2+ unbalanced?

@Foxtrot

Yes. However, the FAQs currently don’t have a home online. I’m working to correct that. They can be found on the Downloads Page. The only change that makes a difference to game play is on the Pacific map. Sea zone 5 is not adjacent to Korea. The border between sea zones 5 and 6 now meet at the border between Amur and Korea, leaving Amur still touching only sea zone 5 but Korea touching only sea zone 6. This was actually an erratum for the 1st edition.

Well done gentlemen, always trying to recruit new War at Sea players.

@theROCmonster:

Would be interested in seeing how your game goes. Keep me posted. Oh and by the way I am an expert bro.

:lol:

re:  soulfein - There are moderators, and they are active.

Playtest it a bit and see if you think it is balanced.  I have to admit in my games Axis usually won but that could be due to differences in skill.

OK I cast my second vote for R&D.

One more vote is needed for Alpha3 AA to beat “none of the above”.  COME ON AA GUNS!!

All submarines do Convoy Raid Damage, German Submarines do it more effectively.

Germany does 3 CRD
USA, Australia, England (And India), Italy, Japan and Russia do 2 CRD
China does 0 CRD (cannot buy submarines)

It would take 3 Japanese submarines to do 6 dmg to England, but it only takes 2 Germany submarines to do 6 dmg to England.

In the game I played my opponent pulled off a successful sea lion but it he lost his air force in the assault as well as about 15 german ground units in the assault.  I attacked him with USSR turn 4 and was able to take Norway and then landed about 12 american ground forces there after liberating UK.  He was later able to retake it using his transports.  US was able to take Pearl Harbor so I built a huge navy in the pacific to try and take it back but my opponent kept matching points with me so our fleets got huge.

Germany was able to recover in the fight against Russia and it was an arms race where both sides built art and inf.  Italy meanwhile became a 40 point country because Africa was over run due to the fact that I had to spend all my points as UK on defending my capital and then on top of that UK was knocked out of the game for awhile.  By the time UK got back in it Italy had won the fight for Africa and could now focus on attacking Russia with Germany.

I could not stop Italy from attacking Russia with USA because I had to spend all my points on navy every turn because my opponent was spending at least 60+ points to beef up his navy each turn.  Eventually I was at an economical disadvantage and had to make a move.  I decided to attack his navy in the pacific with my navy but I lost the fight because I rolled horrible.  So I conceded at that point.

It will take more play testing  Okay edits to come I have to move to a different computer brb.

@calvinhobbesliker:

It may have swung it towards the axis

Sooooo….what was the point of changing the rules then?
