Very nice introductory game. It is much harder to play as the allies but victory has been acheived even against experianced players.
This is not a 5 player game though, the russian player will get out very soon and one of our games lasted 6 hours. I have plenty of fun though, like right now we had an experianced player play germany, me as the uk, my brother (also experianced) as us and our newbie as japan. We also had a guy who played russia abit till they died. Russia died horribly plus having the british army in africa was crushed by the german military despite my best efforts. However, i used part of my pacific fleet and my european fleet to crush german fleets all around. I managed with the US to land a large enough force to beat the germans from africa.
We marched to keep india from falling and we almost did. Japan launched a huge invasion force and suffered terrible roles and lost it all. Not only that, but the american navy scored a very risky and stunning victory and destroyed the japanese navy. Had this had not happened the game would have been over. The army we had sent through to help was crushed in the middle east by the germans though who went to take india. With that gone, germany is now taking africa and is building a force to take london. However i had just destoyed a rebuilt fleet and it will be long before the germans will take it. Meanwhile america had a very close attempt on taking japan. All units were wiped out on either side and america is setting for a second attempt. After that we will take land in asia and continue the effort from there. Germanys main forces are focused in europe and africa, so hopfully we can do some harm and gain quite some land. We will finish the game tomorrow and see what happens. Germany may be favored to win but its still winnable, and its certainly been fun for the 5 hours or so we have put in. Hopfully things will go well.:)
