Well, a redesigned larger map would give extra space in which to put the plastic units, which would be nice, but it wouldn’t necessarily mean that it would take longer for the units to travel across the board because that would depend on whether the sea zones and land territories are large in size but few in number, or small in size but large in number. In the particular case of my custom table, neither factor was changed because the plastic units only get put on the normal four-panel part of the map. The auxiliary map panel on the left is just meant to help with the wrap-around visualization – though as a bonus, it also gives some extra free space as a handy working surface, as do the two table wings.

Japan, I like the action in the pacific.

this is so much cooler than risk where everyone starts off with the same number of territories and units and strategy depends on where your territories are. here all the countries are different, different strategies are employed, different types of battles, the starting setup is the same all the time so as long as the game is balanced then one player wont get the instant advantage. risk used to be my favourite game for like years and years but now well, lets just say im a bit bored with risk and it kind of looks more like a tutorial game to me. the sad thing is that all my friends and stuff love risk yet have never heard of axis and allies
-
always been a fan of the axis powers either japan or germany because u control the action early in the game
-
Germany, then Japan: Both require visionary leaders.

I agree with the Axis, especially Japan controlling the flow of the game right from the beginning.
However England and India are my favorite in this one. In it and overmatched right from the beginning, I love it when both are the crippling thorn in the Axis rear.
