Definition of a mirror game?

Definition of a mirror game?
Can someone please clarify something for me. What exactly is a 'mirror game'?

I recently agreed to my first ever 'mirror' game, only my understanding of what they were appears to have been incorrect.

I assumed a mirror game was exactly that, that is one map 2 games, one you play Allies, one Axis. Whilst I am indeed playing 2 games, (1 Allied, 1 Axis), they are using different maps, and in both I'm attacking and my opponent defending.

Whilst I don't necessarily mind that, I would like to know for future reference so that If I invite, or am invited to play any more, both my opponent and I know what to expect; or if both options are valid that I need to be clear and what the exact arrangement is.

Your understanding of what mirror games is correct.There is one map,two games(one with the allies,the other with axis) and the same parameters.So,if-in one game you attack with the allies,in the other one you'll be defending with the axis.Also,the other parameters must be the same for a game to be considered mirrored.A game with the above settings-where you must attack-for example- in 20 turns,but your opponent has 40- turns to do it,is not considered-from mu knowledge-mirrored.Same thing with the other settings.
