The + 1 deal basically give this to the surprise factor and the fact that many of the weapons carried are mostly fully automatic assault rifles (MP 40 and 44/ Bren gun and not junk like sniper rifles . small pistols and one shot then reload guns.
Imperious Leader

Nice point imp, i think because of this paratroopers should defend at 1 against an attacking force that includes at least one tank. The Germans wasted the isolated British paratroopers in Op Market Garden.

Britain, and Japan keep their original territories, PLUS America’s territories. Also all the original industrial complexes, AA guns, and pieces are on the board.

I was playing with my friends last week when we decided to switch it up a bit. We decided to give japan China, Sinkiang, Mexico, the Western U.S., and all the countries in between. We then gave Britain Eastern U.S., Brazil, Panama, and the West Indies. After that we replace all the pieces on those territories with either British or Japanese pieces. This got rid of America altogether.
The new starting income was:
Britain-47
Japan-44
Gemany-32
Russia-24
This seemed kind of unfair so we then made the teams:
Japan vs. Russia & Germany vs.Britain

We tried this and we got large land battles in East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Russia. We also had large naval battles around Panama, Syria-Iraq, and the Mediterranean. Japan ended battling Britain over Persia, Caucasus, and Eastern Europe.
We thought this was the most fun game of Axis and Allies any of us had ever played.

Please give you opinion.

If Japan pushes towards America and sends only some infantry and a few fighters it will give Germany more time till the eventual D-Day
