@Black_Elk Yeah, my thought is just have more infantry/artillery and less 2 move units. Generally Russia at the start of the war had lots of cheap and poorly equipped units. It feels weird and is hard to balance when they are given lots of 2 move advanced units in Siberia and in eastern Russia.

Was thinking to try something like that... Throwing good money after bad at this point cause the European Axis are all jacked up, Japan's gotta do something bold. We'll be pinning some hopes here on a decent strafe in Hailar and a fair showing everywhere else hehe. Any OOL stuff you spy that you want me to take into account?
About the starting Russian forces I think the same, though I do really prefer a game where Russia has a way to get out ahead of things, instead of just being beat down constantly like in every other A&A game haha. I wouldn't mind a tank or two for Zhukov to roll, or some fighters to keep things interesting in the backfield, but being able to tow the whole mobile force around that deep with such a quickness is pretty deadly. I don't know what's best really. I do like this spread you forced though between Hailar and Khabarovsk. Definitely gives the Japanese army pause

@Black_Elk Should just be max defense across the board.

@redrum @Black_Elk USSR could have their starting center-map mobile strike forces altered, so that their response to Axis moves or their abilliy to strike Iran is obstructed a bit.
(A nerf like this could maybe be accompanied be a removal of one of the many Japanese transports?)But it must not be because players feel Iran /Iraq are to week to defend themselves. Those two nations should fall if Axis do not feel the need to help them out with PUs or perhaps air reinforcements and also letting the minors build better units like tank hunters with their iron if they are threatened by a lot of vehicles. As I see it, the Axis have the choice of letting minors survive or fall. Or at least survive as long as possible, forcing Allies to spread out their focus while the big Axis could slowly gain ground.
I don't see a need for any minor nations to get their territories get further PU boosts. This would would ruin a Axis chances to win if the player's strategy chosen was letting the minors fend for themselves, milking them and focus on the three big Axis. Which should also be a viable player strategy. In Iron War I would like to keep the current minors as minors, and let them be at the mercy of their bigger Allies and how they chose to act.
If the Axis sees it economically impossible to help out the minors, and if if would not screw up overall map balance, the answer could be boosting territories like Germany a bit with more PUs. The same goes for USA and their relation to minors and allies, like China. Meaning no PU boosting territories in danger of falling as it could just help out the other side.
I hope you guys will do a rematch at some point. I fear that the two big catastrophic starting battles and Axis losses will impact the war years to come.
-
@Frostion Some good points. I think the main thing is slowing down Iran/Iraq falling as round 2/3 is too fast for Axis to do anything to help them. If it is happening round 5/6 and the Axis didn't do anything to help them then I'm ok with that. I still think they should just be combined to streamline the game play there.
And yeah this will be a tough game for the Axis after G1. The Ukraine battle is unlucky but a reasonable outcome when playing dice. The big problem was the Med battle as Italy now has no Med fleet and is gonna struggle. I think there needs to be some adjustments to the Med starting fleets to avoid so much randomness in the opening battles by either strengthening or weakening Germany's fleet there.

Max defense is cool with me for the naval fight. Sorry was doing the Thanksgiving bit over here. Will check back tomorrow
Best
ps. for the Iran/Iraq thing I see the point you're making. I think the issue right now might be the production limits on Iran itself. Since even if aid is sent they can still only produce the 5 hitpoints. Maybe more significant is the fact that the German player probably feels pressure to spend every last dime on G1. Next time we play I will use the aid phase to see what can be done to prop up the middle east.
I guess if the Italian Indian ocean transport survives Iran can be reinforced a further 3 hitpoints (mine got taken out this game, so wasn't an option) but the Italian fighters can only reach Iraq. Will look over it more when I get home. I guess if Italy and Germany both send aid you could drop a third fighter. I think if I remember Iran tops out at like 25 hitpoints if everything in range is moved to Iran, but that requires ferrying 3 Italians over and leaving Iraq with just what the Iraqis can build (and whatever the rest of the Axis can fly in).
Maybe 23 hitpoints in Iran is enough if one of them is a third fighter, and if Iraq can hold vs a British-Colonies press? I guess German starting aircraft can get to Iran if they are landed in Balkans on G1 (might require a flyby of the Russian cruiser, if Balkans can't kill that).
If everything Iraq starts with goes to Iran, and max aid from Germany/Italy to both Iraq/Iran, that'd leave Iraq with 5 inf, 2 Italian fighters.
Potentially Iran could have...
14 Inf, 2 aaguns, 2 art, 3 light tanks, 1 medium tank, 5 fighters and a bomber before the Russians come up in the second round (assuming max aid and if every German/Italian/Iraqi unit that can reach is sent to defend the Iranian factory.)
Big commitment, but I guess that'd be enough to get them producing into the 3rd round. Obviously not for the current game, since I'm barely holding onto a heartbeat, but maybe it works if team Axis is determined from the get go.

@Black_Elk Yeah, I think the problem is committing all of that round 1 for the Axis really hurts them across the rest of the European fronts. I think it makes sense that by round 3 or 4 they have to help the Middle East some with units or cash if Russia chooses to pressure there but round 1 Germany and Italy need to focus on expanding given the starting income deficit for the Axis.
