It looks like the german tank has been made skinny. :|  I’m hoping the russian tank has been fixed with a new sculpt.

We had all three axis countries go at once followed by the allied countries, which went fairly fast (~15 minutes a turn) since each country had a player.  I believe the 1942 setup initially goes Japan, Russia, Germany, UK, Italy, and finally US.

I just played a 6 player 1942 game with combined turns and option B that Builder Chris refers to worked pretty well, especially since it is simpler than option A.

Also, we bid 20 IPCs to the allied team to offset the advantage gained by Italy and Germany in going before Russia and England.  The allies were happy with this bid.  However, England did lose its navy and Russia lost their archangel factory fairly quickly.  I wasn’t paying much attention because I was playing Japan and my front was not affected by the new turn order.
