Russian tanks are great if Germany decides to swing down towards the Middle East instead of a straight march to Moscow. They are not going prevent the stackwalk any better than artillery except perhaps if the calculations show that the extra firepower will slow down a critical step like Rostov or Belarus. Hence it could be good to build the tanks on turns 3 or 4, depending on the German DoW. No need for them on Round 1.
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.
