After playing SC for a year, learning the cookie cutter axis moves and progressing to 200+ bids I have sadly concluded that the game should be named War in Russia. It appears that the fatal flaws of insufficient supply at Alexandria, Malta and Gibraltar result in the Med becoming an Axis lake and Italy becoming a corp factory with an expendable navy and no threat to its homeland or MPP's. When you combine this fact with inadequate supply at Brest and Antwerp upon allied liberation and no way for the Allies to increase their MPPs you almost never see a successful invasion. So the best the allies can do is conduct a punishing air war for some period but ultimately the treasury runs dry and the 700 MPP Axis annuity grinds Russis into the ground. Is anyone playing House Rules like No Suez/Gibraltar conquest to return the game to its original scope? Please say there is hope! This is too good a game to have it die before SC2 arrives.
