That fact that the people I play with never let me play Allies… Ill base this on my last game, a new guy, first time playing and he decides to pick the Soviets, I decide to let my other friend, play Germany to have some fun, it was the 2nd turn when he DESTROYED Caucasus, and G4 was when Moscow fell to the Germans, we whipped Russia out in under an hour. This probably only works with new guys :-P
