Playtesting notes…
It’s turn 4 and Game 1 is already turning into a rout in favor of the Axis. Starting Conditions:
Setup mirrored G40.2 as closely as possible on this new board with no bid for the Allies, which should give the game a STRONG pro-axis tilt. My (8yo) son took the Axis with the below standing handicaps:
– Germany +10 IPC/turn and1 free infantry to be placed in any controlled territory each turn
– Japan same as Germany
– Italy same as Germany/Japan but only +5 IPC/turn US starts with 0 IPC, half income until turn 3 or attacked, gain half income as one-time bonus when attacked (this was not in the rules as stated above, but we changed this on the fly as their position looks utterly desperate. I wanted their full income as a bonus, but was voted down). USSR starts with half income until turn 3 or USSR is attacked (he attacked me turn 2)
Current board state:
It’s the start of J4. Japan is making 40 IPC, has 8 carriers in the pacific and is halfway across China and Russia. He neglected the money islands until just last turn and has not threatened India, but has a ~200 IPC fleet at Hawaii.

Germany has 10+ fighters and 40+ infantry. G and R are trading Caucasus. R hoping to hold Moscow with UK help (UK invading Scandanavia and coming down from Karelia).

UK is still the income leader(?) which has allowed them to fight on two fronts, and just sunk both the German and Italian navies. My son rolls ridiculously well, which I secretly enjoy, so both uk fleets (Med and Baltic) took significant losses and are in danger of being wiped out in retaliation next turn.

US only just lumbering into the war. feel extrememly underpowered with an income in only the high-30s and a roaring japan on the doorstep.

ANZAC in the pacific has done exactly zero except lightly threaten Japan’s south, which feels… right.

Italy made a big push into Africa, ans quickly swept the UK out of Cairo, but the combined Free French and British have been able to hold them at FEA and Rhodesia. LOVING how Africa has played out this game.

Currently, the Axis are in a state of Minor Victory according to my revised victory city chart:
4947d642-1928-4055-8df9-13bbbba72695-image.png

I think the game is playing OK, and it’s always hard to account for the handicap & skill effects of having an 8yo at the helm. I’ll be curious to see how hopeless the US situation is. If my son can take territory on the west coast, I’ll have to make adjustments (even given his handicap).
