Five world powers struggle for supremacy: Germany and Japan are aligned against the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States. You control the military and economic destiny of one of these countries in the titanic struggle that will decide the fate of the world. You will need the perseverance of Montgomery, the daring of Rommel, the courage of Patton, the timing of Yamamoto, and the steadfastness of Zhukov!

We always end up with Japan placing an industry in Asia, buying loads of tanks and conquering Moscow. I came up with this variant to prevent this unrealistic strategy. Italy and China are added as seperate powers and some changes regarding production and politics. All in all, it is much more realistic (I think) and offers some additional challenges for both sides. Try it out!
AA42 Variant rules for airborne infantry, mechanized infantry, combined arms (fighters with tanks), armed transports, and elite units (SS, Guards, Royal Marines, U.S. Marines, & SNLF).
