madagascar was...

so when i was a brat age 12 i would play the game "axis and allies" with the tanks, the one which the book said is in the "setting" of "spring 1942" and if that is what is chosen then the situation was quite different from the situation described and in previous posts i mentioned several differences not in that setting and even dared to question,  i questioned the choice of that time and i now repeat in terms of time:
1 i want/prefer a game that gives japan a choice WHEN to attack hawaii with america neutral until attacked! why? because it would be cool to allow the player/leader of japan to  CHOOSE WHEN and perhaps educate people of the mistake japan made and also the game should COUNT cycles to educate people how long it would take to capture tokyo if tokyo had not surrendered after the SECOND  nuclear bomb. and similarly counting would show how much later to atatck hawaii.
the way the game was chosen after USA is in the war is very lopsided with the allied potential for production so high that jpan will certainly lose and still COUNT TURNS to see how long it would take. a real challenge game would start the game with washington NEUTRAL and allow japan the choice when to attack hawaii and thenm the players can try differing strategies.
this is my preference. so how about NOVEMBER 1941 and if so really making that setting what was the situatiuon in pjilipines then? what was the situation in africa and ukraine then etc. and as people play they will probably start with japan immediately using forces against washington=w yet as they play mroe times they will doscover the japanese error!
2 another option is choosing spring 1942 but if so the first player should be japan! after the attack on hawaii the troops regrouped and w repaired 3 battleships if so now tokyo can strike again and bad to start with russia.
3 a third time option which would fit starting after japan is selecting december 1941 so japan is not first since it used its "turn" to attack hawaii so the next player is CHINA  it is unjustly planned to arrange china potential to help washington and china was separately fighting since 1935 so it should be separate.
this regarding time.
***regarding madagascar...
well after choosing the year 1942 and spring meaning after march chose n to allow washington=w to repair battleships- instead of spending 24... well at that point the british did not tyet control madagascar until the end of 1942 and uin previous posts i wrote that madagascar should be neutral to show british doidn ot control however madagascar was... FRENCH which means that the axis should have potential of madagascar not london and unntil london send ssoldiers to madagascar it is axis and not only should l have one less from madagascar in "april 1942" but did you notice the name "french west africa had the word FRENCH which was axis in 1942 so in addition to algeria being axcis because of france mauritibnia is als o axis until british send soldiers so those two countries should be marked axis and the potential should be 2 more for nazi and 2 less for london a difference of four unjustlu for allies and as mentioned in previous posts this difference is magnified by brazil and mexico which were neutral in 1942 until 1945 and the africa territory only has potential if it is big regions similat oto map oif game "risk" although we must not copy it the idea is correct in terms of potential that africa is desert or jungle and not developed so only large regions can ahve poteential so south africa should have a different name and and a "straight line" for border to differ from the "risk" copyright while north of it are two large regions reaching to around 16 degrees north of equator or 19 seee previous posts and hat means that iof we place a tank on the map of game risk it can go two steps from egypt to sapetown in one move that is how it shgould be in recreation of the nazi war and i already complained numerous times about philipines to australia and back so i will not repeat that one.
