Alternate Gameplay

You could place 1 country marker from each country into a bag or hat and randomly draw a marker to decide turn order.

I like Germany-US vs. the rest, that seems viable.

That does seem like the best way to go but I’d probably play around with turn order.
1. Russia
2. Germany
3. UK
4. US
5. Japan

We keep the same play order as the rules say,  with the exception of:  Some times we roll to see what power starts first.  This makes the game interesting and your strageys have a bit of a change up
Try it some time AA fans……It can be really fun and challenging

But wouldn’t Germany going first mean an Axis win almost automatically? Getting to keep West Russia’s units, killing the Leningrad fighter, and taking Caucuses all on the first turn?

But if UK and Japan go first against US, that could really help the Allied team.

UK woudl get killed instantly

I’m not so sure because there is not a threat to India from Japan so UK could concentrate solely on its capital.  If Japan pushes the western United States and the Soviets keep the Germans busy, then I don’t see how UK would automatically fall.  At least for 3-5 turns.

Yeah because Germany is going to still have to keep Russia off it’s back and Japan could be sending stuff through Asia to help. Sure their Atlantic Navy will most likely get wiped out, but their Pacific navy will survive and Japan could shadow it into the Med. The US would be down four IPC’s almost immediately in Asia too.

I really want to try this. I think it would be a lot of fun.
