Number of troops in countries

I joined the updated version of 1939 Historic World war and I picked Egypt (cause everything was taken hehe). First thing I noticed was that I had 11 units. o me it seems a large advantage to a country like the UK with 117 units. I know Bytro is trying to be accurate in the number of units per country but 11 is just not enough at all. Especially at the start of the game where survival is key to victory. Lets take an example, the UK has large portions of Africa and some in the middle east just these provinces have enough units to take me down... I want to know what you guys think about this. Obviously it's more challenging choosing a country that hasn't got 1/4 of the world :D

Have had similar playing the historic map - started with South Argentina - and yes seems you start with less everything res/money/buildings/troops and research

its nature of the beast and i guess historically accurate

BUT i think the rewards should reflect this at end of game - a smaller country winning gets a higher gold payout as he has done FAR more to win

i did end up winning the game in a coalition as i managed to take out south and north America

Well the whole point of HWW is that itโ€™s not balanced but with time you can build up an impressive force just play your cards right and keep communication up because that is one of the best ways to prevent from being invaded. Also donโ€™t complain about 11 units because Persia starts with only 2 lv1 inf 5 lv2 militia 1 lv1 AA and 1 lv1 interceptor.
