IS it fair Auto Victory conditions

Post by tigercub »

I have played WITP AE since release its my belief that the Auto Victory 4to1 for Japan is Ridiculous and cannot be achieved
by any two normal players and puts no pressure on the Allies hence they can sit back and wait until ready.

If Allied player just sits down and defends, good Japanese player has no problem achieving 4-1 in 1943.

I have played this game as much as most, 2 players with the same skill 4 to 1 in not a achievable. even with Scen 2 vs an AI yes. 3 to 1 looks like a fair mark for 1943.

The auto-victory is supposed to be a total blow-out situation where it is almost impossible to come back from, not the goal of a normal game. By making it "fair" you are basically stating you want to attack and win as Japan and you do not want to then defend vs. the allied counter-attacks. 3-1 auto-victory would see very few allied players willing to put in the time and effort of a game as they are forced to suffer and then never get a chance to have their payback for putting up with all the pain in 42 and 43.
