We just finished a game on this map. It ended an axis victory with the fall of russia. ( my opponent gave up after). There are a few map mechanics that I question though.
Japanese anchor in Marianas doesn’t reach japan, it should.
Japan needs an anchor on the west coast side as well
Needs an anchor in eastern france as well or sea zones 28 and 32 need to connect like in Europe edition.
Other then that the map plays really smooth.
Italy Rocks, its my new favorite country, Jut kidding, but it sure is nice to have an axis 1-2 punch like britain, america.
Wasn’t quite sure on how i wanted to use the new country, but they had 1 responsibility, securing the Med. With a little help from the german baltic fleet via channel dash. the italians took afrika wiht little help from germany, And eventually heldd all of afrika and middle east and took turkey and then began amphibous landins in the black sea. Then italy attacked into russia before germany and via this new axis teriitory came germany’s on slaught of soviet russia By this time japan had taken india and had lost french indo china region with factory on siagon and phillipines japan had made it into russia all the way to northern Kaszastan using siberian railway all the way from the coastwith some 20 something inf, 12 tanks, 2 fighters and 3 bombers.
The allies had made some big strides in the pacific retook alot of captured territory including a factory Australian and american navy was huge, un fortunatly the japs were split into 2 fleets, to small alone but together they were also nasty.
The British navy in the atlantic was massive in all aspects and the americans had a major amphibous train going on.
I would have to say after playing on this map Italy definatly evens things out a bit for the axis
Thank you for the map it is awesome
