We actually played that game without the Iwo Jima NO. And I wasn’t able to claim the Balkans one.
-
:lol: Then what are all these Axis NO’s you’re talking about, Witt?
-
I meant those extra two.
Before, Russia struggled to make 25 income, whilst being SBRed, whilst Germany could make 60, then 80with the OOB German ones (Caucasus, automatic Novgorod and Volgograd). I have always argued that Russia and America needed another 10 a turn. This has been done.
Adding 2 income to Germany and 3 to Japan, is a step back.I agreed to play BM with Shin Ji, as he elected to drop the Iwo Jima NO and, fortuitously, we set up a game, without the Balkans NO. I will play BM this way.
To continue my argument, it is fairly easy for Japan to grab Guam on its DOW turn, leaving the US on its OOB 72 income, whilst Japan is already close to 70. Equally, on the European side, we know how easily It is to grab Iceland or Crete, thus denying the UK a NO. Playing without a bid, means Italy can make close to 20 for a few turns, thus enabling it to buy those pesky Can Openers, which favour a German breakout into the oilfields (and more
Income).S

Nit pick: USA is 70 income without the Philippines OOB.
There is a logical flaw in the argument that USSR needs more money because it’s SBR’d. In BM that only happens if the Allies don’t pile in the fighters to defend Moscow. And the Lend Lease NO has been separated from the National Pride for having no allied troops - you don’t need to sacrifice the Lend Lease part.
I suppose though the USSR are still pretty weak even without SBR. Strengthening them strengthens the Allies considerably.
I think Vichy is fine, in spite of the added complexity - except for the way UK can block it if their tank (or art) in Paris survives.

I always take Brazil, Simon.
-
Thanks a lot, Wittmann
Simon, I think he just meant in the regular game Moscow is vulnerable to hard SBR
-
I was thinking, if anything, Balanced Mod might have over-corrected and given the Allies an edge.
(take my opinion with a grain of salt though, since I’m getting back in the groove)
-
Yeah, I think that’s the consensus.

Extra points for ending the war despite Moscow sacks on turn 10 and turn 18.
