@Imperious-Leader What a shame, it looked like fun. Thanks for the reply :)
It’s an interesting time capsule of A&A gaming from the mid-90s, before Hasbro breathed new life into the franchise with A&A Europe. It’s got new units, new rules, and a different time period. The colors are bright and you can tell one power from another (usually - just don’t be color blind).
Sadly, the piece size is all over the place and the rules aren’t truly cohesive. Which is a fancy way of saying that there are holes in the rules. As for those piece sizes…

The grey pieces are a carrier and a battleship
The yellow pieces are a submarine and a transport
The green pieces are infantry and a bomber (stealth bomber, 'natch)
The blue pieces are a tank and a (jet) fighter
The pink piece is artillery
The white pieces are a nuclear bomb, a factory, an anti-aircraft weapon (looks like a HAWK missile to me), a “general”, and a “national leader”.
The white pieces are white for each power, the pieces in colors are all in the same color for each power. There are 8 powers in the game, each with their own color:
African Coalition - pink
Communist China - green
Euro. Union - grey
Imperial Japan - red
Middle-East Fed. - yellow
Rus. Fed. - orange
Latin Alliance - light blue
USA - a blue that’s not light

If you have the desire to buy this game, there are still copies available. As of today (2020 1106), they want $45 plus $15 shipping and handling, but only if you are in the US of A.
I hope that was helpful for you.
