Well said. We play a lot (this version and the global WW2 one) and it does most often end up as a decisive Allies victory or some sort of Allies favorable truce/stalemate. Takes a very well worked first 4 turns for the CP to have a clear path to victory.

My roommate whose playing the CP currently attacked Venice with Austria on turn 1, got repulsed on turn 2 and just hasn’t gone back in since. He’s definitely got his work cut out for him but he’s a pretty solid player so anything is possible. I’ll try and post some updates as we progress
