FYI Japan has 6 VCs under its control

On the CAU russian stack, the odds were not with you given I brought in a bunch of japanese planes. The odds were actually in the japanese favor due to the planes.

Happy to play another, with me as allies. Thanks for playing allies two in a row. After the previous axis loss I wanted to try something new to see how it worked out. Not quite the strategy I had originally intended, but same result – ie win in Pacific was the objective.

After playing allies twice now with the new alpha 3 rules, do you think the advantage has swung to the axis? We had a split 2 games with each power winning, but perhaps you feel the axis have the inherent advantage now?

Let me know if you start a new thread as axis

Cheers

interesting – you think it is so far in axis favor that allies have very low chance of winning now? Less than 30% (ie ~1 out of 3 games)? The 1 in 3 game model is what I typically considered balanced, with the axis winning 1 in 3 (I like when axis are the tougher powers to play with two equally skilled players; mostly a holdover from classic AA)
