I think what I would do is just stack Paris, sink z96, and grab Java and land the ANZAC fighters there. I calculate that Germany would have to use the entire luftwaffe plus all land units in range to take Paris without losing large number of tanks/mechs. I think this is historically fair because stacking Paris would be in the spirit of France being in defensive mode, and let’s just say that in the real war France got diced by the sickle cut. It should have been harder for Germany. So in this scenario the royal navy would be quite safe and without any possibility of sealion they could easily afford to nuke Taranto and build an IC in Egypt right away. Russia gets some breathing room and a strong UK gives USA more room to focus on the Pacific. ANZAC having an extra round of income and $14 for the first couple rounds is a small help too.
Starting National Identities

The game map has always bothered me. Why would Denmark, Norway, and Holland/Belgium be considered German homelands when Manchuria isn’t considered Japanese? Japan had controlled Manchuria for 10 years before Pearkl Harbor, yet Germany had invaded many of it’s component pieces just months before the start of this game. The map board needs to be changed to reflect reality. Germany should not be able to build a major IC in Norway because they had JUST conquered it. Additionally the Soviet Union did a good job invading Poland, the Baltic States, Vyborg, and Bessarabia and from the other direction.
I think the following zones should be neutral
–-----------------------------------------
Denmark
Norway
Poland
Baltic States
Eastern Poland
Bessarabia
Vyborg
EthiopiaThe following zones should be “Dutch”
Belgian Congo
Holland/BelgiumObviously setup and starting affiliation would not change, just the map flavor.

i strongly agree ^^
a 1939 version of the map would be great too
or a simplified
or even 1941but nevertheless, i think the neutral countrys then are liberated instead of conquered (especially france and dutch)

By adding the dutch capital… you add them to the GAME.

They wouldn’t have to be added as a nation. It wouldn’t make sense, anyway. I do agree, though, that the original territories thing is a bit skewed in the case of German conquests.
