Playing with so many people cannot possibly lead to a fun game. There would be 7 people at any given time messing around and not paying attention to the game and turns would just take even longer. In this case, there is such a thing as too many people. I’d say a max amount of players for a fun game would be 6 or maybe 7. Having 5 or 6 might be ideal though. It seems like it would take a while for only 2 people to play this game.
I have 9,sometimes 10 if someone brings a guest, players and we get through games fine. If you have immature people than yes but we are all very patient so we get through games quick. I have 1 AA50 2 AA42 2 AA original 1 AARE and 1 of BotB DDay and Guadacanal. I have almost every axis and allies game and we have to group off. This will eb the first time we can all play!!!
How old are you, if I may ask? Perhaps if you play with older people who are less inclined to joke around, the game will move faster. Still… 9 or 10 people seems excessive, in my opinion. If it works for you and your group, then that is great. I just think there would be very little to do if you split up the nations so much. The more power you have, the more fun it is to play. Anyway, my typical group is 5, and that seems to be ideal, orhas been for previous global editions.
