This is where I get lost in the argument.
If a game is designed as "balanced" and perceived as balanced why would "the stronger player" pick one side or the other?

Would it always then be unbalanced if played by opponents of equal ability?
If the scenario dBASE shows a 50/50 split on wins that would actually be a false stat because of who played which side?

If you are judging balance based on win/loss but you want "the stronger player" to play the "weaker" side, where is the balance? How could balance then be judged?

Maybe it is semantics all along?

Yes it favors the Allies when 2 players are of exactly the same ability and have exactly the same stronger and weaker points and bad/ good days at exactly the same time. If I played against a clone of myself I think the Americans would win two thirds of the time. But 1 third the Germans would win. Fortunately not all players ARE the same.
Now what is your point?
