INTRODUCTION i would play axis and allies in 1980's version 1984 and one thing i noticed as a child is the battleship of washington=W in pacific this surprised me then because the game claimed to base itself on "spring 1942" situation and if so that was when the US lost its pacific battleships and a justly prepared game would require using resources to build battleships.
CONSIDER setting the war in "spring 1942" allows the repairs until May 1942 so either start december 8 with w responding and require resources OR start before december 7 and let player for japan choose to delay attacking w navy or not. the decision after repairs then it should start japan begins not russia and waiting until may 1942 LATE ENUF TO COUNT the maryland gives w 6 battleships in pacific when equality was possible. choosing spring is a decision which saves w 24 units why spring? to help one side??
consider they returned to service in february=tennesee and march 30 =pensylvania and in may=maryland, joining the new-mexico, mississippi and idaho totalling 6, by spring 1942"
shows 3 returning to operate in february wrong about the maryland.

with 3 sent to pacific in january yet maryland operated MONTH MAY SEE

2 also we see 8 bs of japan near tokyo and four 4 more near siam in 1942
if 4 is enuf then tokyo deserves 2 representatives or do not decide "after repairs" for 6.

part 2 we see at the following link "all" the second wave returned well except 20, the battleships are "ineffective" in defense against aircraft EVEN when prepared in second wave so 4/6
66% is unjusly defined for defense. even attack cannot destroy a division of soldiers in attack and battleship barham lost sunk in 1941 by submarine failed to hit the sub without destroyer-type with many depth charges to be effective.

"all" returned beside twenty.
bs ineffective even as planes approached them and EVEN when prepared second wave. planes "nine in the first attack wave, 20 in the second) with another 74 damaged by antiaircraft fire from the ground"
so here is the history of that year
w moved 3 battleships to pacific in the first months of 1942 after the damage to the pacific fleet and similarly british had 3 battleships in med after the barsham sunk. we assume this is just.
if so how can 26 submarines not count as a submarine group represented in the game in the mediteranean for nazi. and if so japanese had 12 battleships TWICE AS many. if 6 counts as two groups how can 12 be less than 4 groups! this is unjustly prepared.
japan had 8 battleships near tokyo and that is one group in the game how can the british and w get 2 groups for only 6 total that is unjustly prepared and in terms of the game tilts the game in favor of allies which already have more resources also unjustly because brazil was neutral intil 1945 and same for mexxico all south of california was neutral and did not help nazi nor washington w until 1945. so w should have potential of 29 not 36 and need to use it if the strategy is to build battleship.
japan has many to represent many but if so tokyo should have two groups for 8 and south pacific another group of 4 while only london has 4 but 3 is too small to be represented. and the allies should be required to use resources if they want to build battleships.
furthermore why is eastern america more than potential of germany? it should be ten each and western america much less developed should be like japan 8 yet unjustly 22 4 to many and add to that the neutral which were neutral and this is unjustly prepared. and why is hawaii better than solomon islands besides the actual soldiers on the isles.
no justly preparing a game would mean washington has zero battleships after the damage and one aircraft carrier group survived the 3 battleships are olsd and too small to be a group otherwise japan deserrves two representatives in tokyo for 8 besides the group in malaysia...
similarly in mediteranean the submarines of nazi do not "count" as enuf to be represented in the game so the same for the british ones in malta near italy not near north egypt and even the battleshiip group after losing barsham 3 is not a group or else tokyo with 8 should have 3 groups represented no 4 is the line and only one bs london for 4 and no bs nor ss in med because otherwise that is "bs"-! and so japan only one in south and stiull should have two bs in tokyo! 8 bs is two groups while truly 3 in pacific like 3 in med are too few to be a group a compromise of 5 in a group we can still pretend the south has 5 because tokyo has more than 5 while london has less than 5 and we can imagine one of med completes it but not 2 representatives because 3 is too few or else japan should have four representatives...no japan only 3 not 4 bs, 2 bs in tokyo region while us lost so zero unless build with potential of 10+8+2=twenty like germany and japan. not enough for a bs because brazil and mexico are neutral so would need to save to build bs while britian has potential like japan to spend all resources on one bs unless lose west africa or egypt or undefended australia then 24 minus one is not enough like washington and china is own fighting since 1935 not providing washington with steel for a batlleship jeez jesus christ ! it is not a challenge when it is so tipped unjustly make the game like the situation and let the dice ROLL.
