@VictoryFirst @kwaspek104 Going into G6, this game had Germany take Moscow at 78.68% and keeping Germany at roughly 96%.
Taken together, the Germans had a 74-76.6% chance to win (depending on how well the British did in Berlin on UK6) going into the final turn despite the horrific opener in the Atlantic.
My official position is that the German SCA (12 IPC pre game cash) and one submarine off the Bay of Biscay must be removed to have a chance at balance.
*Albeit I didn't track the dice round to round after G1 for this game.

@the_good_captain I agree. I think removing the German 12 IPCs will certainly help because it will make it harder for them to do such a powerful Barbarossa. It might be enough for game balance. Shall we play again with these rules this time? Which side would you like to play? (If no preference, I'll take Germany).
Thanks for the game my friend. Your play was clever and VERY efficient. I was impressed with how you managed to bring the British Tank and AA from Canada in a natural way, always matching your transport capacity, using the Russian transport to the best of its ability, and parking the US bomber in Cyprus.

@victoryfirst If you don't mind, it would do a lot of good if you let me take Germany without the SCA and after removing one submarine from the Bay of Biscay.
I have to run a test and need to be Germany - we can switch in the next game?
If that sounds good, let me know where you want the Allied bid?
-
Sure, that sounds good to me. I'll put 4 Russian infantry in Bessarabia. These games are fun.
