Well, we resumed the game Sunday and went another 8 hours on it. Now the U.S has tech Chart 2 , 1-2-3 & 6, the Brits have jets & radar, the Russians have chart 1, 1 & 6,& s subs, the Ger have chart 1, 1-3-4-5-6, the Japs chart 2, 1-2-3. The Germans have fought off every force that was thrown at it by all 3 allies and is building up and the Japs are closing in on Russia but the U.S.S.R still has a huge force of tanks and Italy has been invaded over and over by the U.S. and the Brits have taken back most of Africa, now the U.S. is trying to build a Pacific navy again, if this goes on for too much longer we may have to consider a draw. But I think this could be the most awesome game I ever played, by the way it’s the 41’ version.
Who should play Italy in a 5 person game?
-
In 5 person games we have always had Germany control the Italian player, but many of my fellow players now feel this give the Axis and Advantage. Axis has won 60-70% of the games played in our group, and some see it as unfair since the German player and Italian player don’t have to plan together, but the entire Allied players have to plan together.
what do you think would be a good way to fix this problem? Have Japan also control the Italians?
-
IMHO it’s better that Japan Controls Italy to make the game less favored to the axis. This prevent the German/ Italian Player from using those two nations as if they were one, which I think is why they got split up in the first place.

what bbrett3 said haha
my play group lets me get away with playing italy and germany together though, as i play each nation as its own and don’t just mini-me italy to help with german goals :lol:
-
the ruissain player of course xD
SCNR
anyway i think its just natrual to let german player play the italians in any setup except 6 players. strategies have to be coordinated anyway so i cant see how giving them to japan will make a diffrence.

Always had Germany play Italy, as it’s the extra play where in AAR it wasn’t a case to think about what to do with the teritory in Italy that Germany had. Think just comes as a norm.
Or…let the two Axis plan Italy together, be more team bonding.
It’s like if it’s 2 playing Allies… the UK player would play America, or play US as a team.
