13 Axis-2 Draws-1 Allied=Well Balanced scenario?

I for one pretty much ignore the user ratings and use the stats when trying to determine if a scenario is balanced or not.

For starters, it's the victorious player who usually reports the game and rates the scenario. I'm not sure about you, but if i win, i tend to believe it's because of my tactical brilliance rather than my side having the advantage :) We introduced a feature where the other player gets an email inviting him to rate the scenario too, still, it's a recent feature and truth be told more often than not the second player won't spend a couple of minutes clicking on the link in the email and rating the scenario.

Second, it's really hard to tell (at least for me) if a scenario if balanced or not without playing with both sides, especially if one side is just slightly advantaged. There are a number of scenarios which i win and reported in all fairness as balanced, only to play the opposing side and find out it's not exactly as balanced as i initially though.
