I concede, I made too many careless errors to keep on playing.

Thanks for my first game

in my experiments it made a big difference in the russian front, and almost no difference in the pacific. In the pacific Japan is mostly just crushing india/china and building submarines to hold off USA/ANZAC. If i didn’t make the positioning errors I think Japan would be massively favored to just kill calcutta and hold off the USA by spamming submarines.

In my personal plays of the game by myself I find the big issue for the axis in BM2 was getting the Japanese to get submarines to deny UK/USSR National Objectives. So I don’t think that there is much difference between just SBR rules and regular other than rushing south russia being more important. The 8 territories stretching from South ukraine to volgograd to persia is worth 30 IPC’s a turn in the hands of the germans, combined with Leningrad european axis make 94 IPC’s a turn. Which if the Japanese take Calcutta means the axis overall are getting 170 IPCs/turn which allows the axis to outecon the allies. Even with SBR rules I don’t like the allies chances there. So it’s clear to me that the allies need to fight in south russia somehow to prevent this “economic” win of controlling the middle east and india.
