It's been a long time since I played A&A1940 last time, but I'd really like to play againa.
Not sure which is the "balanced edition", but glad to play 1vs1 with you and learn.
@Mora@brxxx imo you should really try it 1 on 1 first there is a ton going on and even fi you know the map the extra complexity in trying to coordinate would make thing quite a bit more tougher. 🙂
Good luck and feel free to open a new thread in "Maps & Mods", if you'll turn this into a mod, or intend to.
Maybe I should not advertise other forums, but you can also search for interested people in https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/. I suggest you clarify that what you are proposing is an edited start-game savegame.
