Do people see Italy as an Axis minor? I don’t, I know it’s the poorest major power in the game but it’s still a major power. My two cents on this debate is you either take Italy and have it support Germany when it invades USSR or you use Italy as a naval power to keep India and UK from linking up or you can take a more questionable route and try to do both.
Color of the Soviets -vs- the Italians
-
Make the Soviets red.
End of story :-)
-
Make the Soviets MB AA brown
make Italians light grey or light green
-
They didn’t call them “Reds” without a reason.
I like Italy’s current color. Russia, not so much.

Me neither. Red (abit bordeaux) would be perfect.
I wonder why France got such a radioactive blue :-D
-
Make the reds red…
-
The French blue looks good in person. It grows on you a bit….

I would probably prefer France to be a darker blue but it’s not so bad. I’ve gotten used to it and since 95 percent of their units are killed in the first turn before they even move I don’t know it it matters anyway.
Even though I agree that Italy and Russia are too close in color, I haven’t had too much of a problem telling them apart. It would be a lot better if Russia was closer to a dark red though.

Honestly, I don’t have any problem telling them apart.

The appearance of the various colours is sometimes a bit different depending on whether you see them in sunlight, in incandescent light, or in fluorescent light. I find that the lighting type makes the most difference when you compare the various shades of green that have been used for the American infantry pieces over the years in the different releases: in some lighting conditions (especially fluorescent lighting, which sometimes has a greenish hue) they look identical, while in others it’s easy to tell them apart.

agreed. Red should be the soviet color. But it not a big deal. I can tell the difference. And since turkey is now completely impassable w/o making a stupid attack, the italians and russians will probably not see action against each other.
