Suggestion: Diplomacy matrix

It would be nice to be able to see other countires relationships with each other as opposed to just your relationship.

As nice as that info would be, I think it would take away from the game. NATO announces their ally status..I.E..you attack country A and we will attack you (in theory). But how different would WWII be if the Allies knew from the start that Russia had a secret agreement with Germany? I can't answer that.

I think it would be nice if we had a troop matrix. It would show you how many of each you had and possibly where they are (no other country could see this of course). I think the difficulty lies in the matrix would have to be dynamic since the territories would always be changing. I said it would be nice, but very difficult.

USA: Oh yeah, I see the Nazis, who hate the communists, have play-ground treaty with the Communists, who hate Nazis.

UK: Give it to mid-1941?

USA: I give it to Mid-41 for an invasion, but late 40 for a break down in relations. Now, about these Japs...
