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.

Use IPC tab to track turn start IPCs, spending, then turn end IPC income.
Use territory tab to track territory ownership by faction. As the owner is changed, the IPC income on the same tab is automatically adjusted, and the victory territory count by side is also adjusted.
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!
