this was considered and ok you are right, may teorethically happen that 5 means the Japanese wins hands down while at 6 he has no chances, but it is an edge case. It shoud not happen if the scenarios are decent.
Let me explain why we deliberately left out of the card any balance variation.
In ordinary scenarios balance variation exists when players want to play the same side, and one or both believe the scenario is unbalanced. So who loses the dr at least takes the balance as consolation because they consider unsatisfatory the VCs.
On the contrary - at least in my experience - when the scenario is evenly balanced players decide by mutual agreement the sides or roll a die, and balance variation never comes in play. This second case is what should happen here.
In fact in these scenarios the VC are not fixed, so an identhycal bid implies the scenario according the opinion of the players is evenly balanced exactly at the level they bid. Then any further variation appears ultroneus. Unless for some ASLesque reason 5 means one side wins always, and 6 means he loses always. The edge cases...
Just for to be clear, the perfect bid is the one that give you 40-60% to win, not the one that give an higher %.
If both players aim to get super easy victory conditions biddind to be sure to win (assuming they get their favoured side), then the luck of a dr is what they deserve, not certain a balance!
