Like i said, we are equally smart and experienced by now. After 20 plays we have got the hang of it and know the various strategies. However after 20 plays i have won about 15 times and my playmate about 5 and those victories came in Early War. That is why i think the US is stronger, especially with the Optional Cards (like i said Norad is a blast)
Well, sorry, but I suppose it's fair to assume that you're still not at the level of the players who regularly win TS tournaments, and the consensus among them AFAIK is that the USSR is plenty strong (slightly but significantly stronger than the US without the optional cards, and perhaps still slightly stronger with the optionals).
You're probably in the phase where you know how to play one side better than the other, and that side seems stronger to you now. The USSR requires a completely different strategy than the US, and you're probably a bit behind the other side on that.
