Here is a truly weird one. Rick (the Allies) was a demon at rolling for
the US entry, and was really horrible at rolling for anything else...

Additional Notes:
The following minors have +1 INF: Fin, Neth, Rum, Swe
Spain has 57 BP army (Spanish Civil war won by Nationals in 3 battles)
Sigfried Line built
China at production multiple of 1
China has surrendered to Japan
Russia has surrendered to Japan
War declared in Mar/Apr 1939
I don't know about this one. I hope someone can make a better judgement on
this than I. Here are the points as I see them
Axis +'s:
Spain is Pro-Axis (not as important as war not declared on CW/Fr)
China is virtually dead
France is very weak (Germany doesn't have to worry about France)
Japan is near 1939 starting BP & has plenty of resources
Aust, Den, Fin, Rum, Swe all Axis controlled
No Allied controlled minors
Allied +'s:
US entry at +6 (and Rick went into the Rhineland on turn 1!!!!!)
Germany is very weak & resource poor
CW and Russia are near 1939 starting BP's
With the US entry the way it is (at +6), the US player is going to be
comming into the war in 1940! China is going to crumble fast (with only
5 INF). Germany has to take out Poland to get to Russia, but that is
not a given 1-turner seeing how weak Germany is. I see the war comming
down to a race: can the Axis squeeze Russia before the US enters the war.
It's going to be close. I think Rick is overly pessimistic when he says
that the Axis have an advantage...
