I found this discovery interesting this morning. In many games as Germany i have influenced the USA without so much as a peep from the UK for many years into the game. In fact its the norm for the USA to get to at least 3/4 of the way to the Axis corner before threat/events/intervention by the UK come into play. So today i started a game as the Soviet Union and started the game influencing the USA, now i dont know when they actually started but early in 1937 i noticed the UK counter-influencing the USA non-stop, so much so the USA was still creeping in the Allied corner. The UK feared the Soviets more then the Germans or just a program quirk? Interesting...
