Once players get more expirienced, then yes the Allies due tend to win more and more games. But newer players will usually get stomped by the Axis for whatever reason. Some ingenuity may be required to balance the game if you see fit, but my pals have been playing for awhile now and it's always a close game for us (we also switch up the teams, which helps to everyone happy). What I really like about the game is that it can become a social thing, where you have soem buddies over for drinks, junkfood, and A&A. The process of playing is almost always more entertaining than the outcome.
