    These are the same people who fuss about the game not being historically accurate

    Well, this doesn’t matter to me all that much. I spell out the entire name just as much as I abbreviate. And I can generally understand all forms… you guys argue about it and decide.


  • While I would enjoy an Axis & Allies 1940 version or setup that was more historically accurate, it would be extremely difficult to win as the Axis.  Particularly as Japan.

    GDPs:
    Wartime GDP of the Great Powers

    Country 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945
    USA 800 869 943 1094 1235 1399 1499 1474
    UK 284 287 316 344 353 361 346 331
    France 186 199 164 130 116 110 93 101

    Allied/Axis GDP 2.4 2.3 2.1 2.0 2.1 2.3 3.1 5.0

    Take 1941 and divide by 10, you get IPCs of:
    USSR: 27
    Germany: 57 (41.2 Ger, 13 Fra, 2.9 Aus)
    Italy: 15
    UK: 35
    Japan: 20
    USA: 124
