I love the game although simplified. The low IPC and lower numbers of troops made this game more dependent on luck and more exciting
Often the Ger and USSR fight on East front and into a meat grinder.
the battle will decide who is the winner
The england often is the main support of USSR instead of US.

Moreover, I found something interesting.
China played a huge role in stopping Jap and they only had 3 inf. LOL!

Ｈow about shore bombardment? I assume there was no such rules in this version.

ps.
I can gonna try the rules you told me with friends tomorrow, Krieghund.

Sorry
Actually I was from Taiwan not China
it was a great game and I love it with all my heart.

So what about the starting US IPC
It was supposed to be 17 not 15? :?

Second, How about the Soviet and Japan non-aggression pact?
What we make a rule that if soviet or japan can gain 3 inf. when they are attacked by other first?  :-D

and one more thing , battleship has 2 lives.
If it was damaged from a battle, can it repair automatically and instantly?

Me from china
This game is so f*cking unbalanced

my friend and I played the original rule and it was a 5-1 axis leads

even we tried the adjustment with moscow 2 inf and US DD lasst night, the allies still lost
the problem is the russia is way too weak to defend the GER
and England and US were always too late and to far to help
even through Eng sent 2 fighters to help,
Moscow still fall on round 2 or 3  :|
