I have been thinking - Would it be cool to have some political "unknowns" introduces into the game? They would need to balance themselves out a bit - but, for example:
What if France is stronger than they were historically, but the Soviet Union was weaker?
What if Italy is stronger, but Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary remain neutral?
What if the US economy does not ramp up as qucikly and effectively as it did historically
There are a number of these things that would make the game more interesting - France could have been stronger than they were, Russia might have collapsed as expected, the US economy might not re-tool for war that qucikly, etc. We could make an optional rule where each side draws a card (or two - one positive and one negative) from a deck and then is forced to play them at some point during the game. . .
anyway - what do you think?
