from a distance the balance seems good - I think the weather heavily favoured the Axis in this game, the 'extra' fine turn in the late 43 offensive and some handy bad weather in 44 was very, very helpful IMHO As I have mentioned above on the general comments about the game, that fair weather turn i...

remember he doesn't need to keep the UK - just tie you up!

only issue is they can keep placing units in the UK

you are playing the AI - it makes odd decisions Indeed it does.The british are attacking in North Africa and I have a nice little fight going on there.But The Russians do nothing.They just move units into contact and just sit there.....Very strange behaviour. the AI is rubbish - you need to play a ...

different weather could have given a different result!

its not that don't agree with you - I'm with Staffenburg - I would have retreated earlier in Russia - this going to be very tight

we have talked about the mines - swedish one is expensive to get at and although portugual/spain is a bit cheesy it still takes effort to take Portugal, I agree its easy to hold but I have never taken
lisbon easily

so you want axis or a mirror game

first you have to take it and this doesn't give you the mine - think you are talking cross purposes

pretty sure ARM don't and FTR's do in your scenario

we have discussed this previously - its a pretty expensive exercise for the allies

there seems to be a good set of improvements in 3.1 that shoul keep peoples interest going

I have also been trying a few tactical tweaks in my games which seem to provide some additional interest

I think this game shows there is plenty to learn in 3.1
