After reading alot of articles in this forum, the general consensus is that the game favours the Axis (playing with NO). But I agree with you, I find The Allies a very strong part. Myself I have played Anniversary about 10 times, lost as both sides, never won against an experienced player.
However, my favourite opening move on G1 against the British Fleet is as follows;
SZ2, attack with 2 subs and 1 fighter
SZ6, attack with 1 sub and 1 cruiser
SZ12, attack with 2 fighter
The German Bomber goes to Egypt on T1
This way the British fleet is getting pounded right from the start, and the only units that are unharmed are the British in SZ9.
But, as I stated, I have never won the game…
