Snigg (Axis) over Dawgoneit (Allies +21)

Haven’t heard anything in 3 weeks.

Dawg was in the hospital, he’s back now but will be out of the games for a bit more. If you don’t want to wait that’s fine, but at least you know what’s up.

I hope things are OK with him, and I’ll be glad to continue the game when he’s better.  I just hadn’t heard anything in a long while.

SouL (Axis) over Odonis (Allies +20)

Another marathon game that had SouL win in the Pacific, just after I had taken Germany and was poised to take Italy the next turn.

Well played and great fun!

Don’t let 'em shoot tanks or drive them old trucks….
Let 'em wear grey, and yellow, and such
Mommas, don’t let your babieeeees… grow up… to play Allies
'cause they’ll never win and they’re always alone
even with someone they love

Talleyrand19 (Axis) over Snigg (Allies +22)

Allies ain’t easy to love, and they’re harder to hold
They’d rather give you a loss, than diamonds or gold
The doomed Prince of Wales and the faded Repulse,
and each night begins a new day
If you don’t understand them, and you don’t lose quick,
they’ll prob’ly just die away

<chorus>Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up…. to play Allies
Don’t let 'em shoot M-1’s, or drive them old trucks,
Let 'em wear gray, and yellow, and such
Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up… to play Allies
'cause they’ll never win, and they’re always alone
even when you get some luck

Allies like smokey ol’ Shermans and clear bombing skies…
Little shell casings and children, and girls of the night…
Them that don’t know 'em, won’t like 'em,
and them that do, usually won’t know how to play 'em
He ain’t wrong, he’s just weak, but his pride won’t let him
do things to make you think he’ll win

<chorus again=“”>Here’s the famous song that inspired my lyrics today:

haha. nice one, Gamer. If only there were some way to fix this systemic, pro-Axis imbalance. Oh wait! there is! http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=37341.0    :-o

That’s right - my song only applies to 2nd edition A&A by Larry Harris and co.

IIRC the first iteration heavily favored the Allies (No complex in Ukraine, a minor for Berlin, and richer USA jump to mind.  Oh, and no separate theater victory conditions - that was the real killer)

Seriously, folks, the Axis are winning significantly more games than the Allies even with your +15 to +25 bids.  I understand a lot of people don’t like to add a lot of stuff to the board to start the game, so you might take a page from the balanced mod folks’ ideas and add an NO or 3 to the Allies.  You might want to modify Russia a little instead of the USA because the Russians are just a bit too weak in 2nd edition.  One of the things the balance mod does is separate the no Allies NO from the Archangel NO so a single boat to 125 or a single Allied unit in Russia doesn’t stop Russia’s +5 NO.  Another idea would be to supplement general Allied bidding with Russian bidding in infantry.  Or add a bomber.

For example, bomber to Moscow and I bid 20
Or 4 infantry to Russia and I bid 20

You might want to agree on a certain thing to Russia and then bid for UK or something.  Just suggestions.
We’ve had hundreds of games of 2nd edition played now with bids of 15-25 to the Allies, and the Axis are still winning 55% (2015) or 60% (2016) of the games

I don’t know…. might be interesting to try getting rid of the split theater winning conditions and make Axis get a certain number of VC’s worldwide.  Take away the bid to the Allies… maybe make a couple other tweaks… food for thought

The balanced mod kept the split theater victory conditions (for those of you who don’t know anything about this mod yet).  Not saying this as a positive or negative, just a fact
