@WILD:
I like either Germany, or UK, they are the leaders of their side. They are both involved in multi fronts and generally fight all the major enemy powers at one time or another. In AA40G both these powers will take on larger rolls. Germany will be a menace on the sea w/expanded sub warfare, and its new tac bmr/ftr combo (not to mention the convoy zones). The tac/tank combo will also make the land battles feel more like a true blitzkrieg (got to love those 4’s). The UK will have all those IC at the start of the game along w/the Anz. UK being able to produce units in all those places should make them even more fun to play then before. It’s going to be a constant battle to keep its income up to feed all those production centers. They will be very busy, plus UK will most likely inherit the French too.
Germany on multi fronts. They have a navy that lasts a few turns, and are fighting the Soviet Union.
UK will lose either India or Egypt and lose control of that area, Australia and New Zealand is a sitting duck.
I dont know why but Russia. I always volunteer to play Russia (since my gamemates hate it) and I always, win or lose, enjoy it. Ive enjoyed other countries but russia is different. Maybe because when I played for the first time it was my country. Im also the best at it. Second is Uk by far.
After independence, the troops that fought for Japan were regarded as freedom fighters(which I don’t have a problem with per se, since they thought Japan would free India) and given good pension, but Indian troops who fought for the British are not
Wouldn’t that make you angry with the UK, or the Indian government then, not Japan?
Indian gov’t yes; not UK.
I am about 40% Indian (along with 45% German, 10% British, and 5% Scottish) and I cannot see how you would blame the Indian government as GB was pulling the strings all of WWII. That being said, I am an American and I support GB.

I think what he’s saying is Russia controls the fate of the game, which is probably true. It dictates how much resources the UK and US can put into the Pacific and Africa to keep the Axis away from the IPC pinata. A strong Russia will instigate pressure on the Germans with minimal western support while a weak Russia forces the Allies to play piggyback the Reds and provide a weaker defense against Japan.

Probably yes because russia is usually what determines the game. If russia holds until Western help can arrive or better yet, take germany then allies usually win. If russia falls axis usually win.

Agreed. Very true.
