If there is any slant to the game I would say that it slightly favors the Allies simply because of the fact that just like IRL the numerical advantage can over come a lot. Player quality being equal I think the Allies will eventually win.<br ...

99% of the players don't do AAR's.[;)]<br/>

Just two questions<br/>
Have you actually played this game against a human?<br/>
Or, are you basing your assumption only from AAR's.<br/>

Just curious.[;)]

Many of the games that have gone to completion or near it are with stock. There are many games in the AAR section that are CHS and other mods that have basically gotten to near the end of 1942. Thus, they cannot be added to the mix. The ...

Most of the time if the IJ player starts losing, you don't see AARs into 1944... it's "Jan 1 1943 - game over"... or, "KB sunk in 1942, game over".<br/>

If the Allied player is losing, the game is more likely to go longer, because ...

If you want to see some AAR that were good for the Allied, go to the AAR section, select all dates, and class AAR by number of hits. On the first page you will find the following (that I know and are good for Allied).<br/>
