If it were attempted, what would the general consensus be to add Italy as a playable country to Spring 1942 1st ed?
Obviously the territory would be given to the Italian player as well as different color playing pieces, and perhaps they would receive 3 to 5 IP per turn, but it would add a 6th player, and the more the merrier.
Thoughts? Improvements? Even doable?
What's your favorite country and why?

China :D
Japan thinks she can take china, but it can be defended very well given certain strategic decisions. Buuut that’s for AA50 and P40, and Pacific.Hmm. I like to play as Britain. So many tactical decisions that make you a threat on every corner of the world!
Germany is AWESOME too. Beautiful amount of starting units that makes me love AA42 for ages.

Japan. You have tons of options to attack the Allies. And late in the game, after you’ve taken British and Russian holdings, you’re an economic powerhouse and can wipe the floor with the Allies.

UK…

USA is my favorite allied country to play as love the naval battles and island hopping also like to get my forces into africa then move into the Mediterranean!
Italy- is awesome to play as if played right can really hurt the UK i’ve taken india and all of africa great feeling! -
Germany.
-
USSR
Very straightforward slugfest with the Germans, plus you get to be the “underdog”.

Japan!! Lots of islands and attack with boats… -
I’d have to say Japan. I’m a newer player and Japan seems like like it is the easiest (at least for me) to play as.

i cast my lot with the crowd, i love playing Japan. You get to deal with some interesting naval maneuvering in the pacific, can reach across the whole map participating in every theater of war, and you are often the largest power in the game, geographically speaking. Many options, and usually no one putting a whole lot of pressure on you, leaving you free to dictate your battle plan.

For me, it’s a toss-up between Germany and Russia. I love a great land campaign and being in the center of the fight. Russia’s underdog status and Germany’s starting strength and options (Germany can build almost exclusively ground units, air, or even navy) make it tough to pick between them.
-
USA.
i like countering (preferably cunning) Axis strategies.Also, it’s nice to have enough money to buy stuff :-D
-
UK. They have so many options and not many units, forcing difficult decisions and careful planning. You have to be creative and versatile with air and naval units, and cooperate with both Russia and USA to maintain control of important territories and sea zones. I love it!

Well, earlier I stated “USA.” But, now I’m feeling the Germany energy. There’s never a dull moment with Germany. It’s the hot seat.
Russia can get a hot as Germany.
