I would like feedback on a house rule:
After round 1, France no longer takes it’s turn after Italy but rather it moves after Russia.
Thought: Instead of waiting for your online opponent to say France does nothing, you can just proceed from Italy into Germany and let any useless NCMs done by the French occur when Russia goes.
Impact on the game: Except for the truely ultra rare occassion, I cannot see any positive or negative impact on the game. France is rarely in a position to do anything to Italy, Germany or Japan except suicide it’s forces against them. Likewise, after Round 1, France is rarely ever attacked by Germany, Italy or Japan.
