SPlit the Anglo-Franco-Italo bonuszone in at least 2 bonuszones !
Name them North sector west allies and south sector west allies..or Anglo-Franco sector (slugging in Flanders mudlands) en Franco-italo sector (doing its worst in the mediteranean and Alps).
Where will i put Paris then? Spliting Western allied in two sector will not improve starting position at all. If i split these in two sectors what i will get?
Maybe to split in England and france one sector and italy alone second sector? Still these have nothing with starting positions.
Paris should be with the Northern or Anglo-franco sector (Paris was threatened by Germany from the north).
Improvement is at least that the starting positions of 5,6 and 7 won't be running in eachother's path.
As the map is now, 5,6 and 7 starters MUST fight eachother for control over WesternAllies..which means numerous turns of throwing new troops at eachother before one or 2 will concentrate on another sector..BY WHICH TIME the 8,4,3,2,1 players have certainly control over a larger and more secure bonusarea.
With my suggested split (or why not the 3 countries?) there is ONLY the 6 player that must choose to wrestle with the 5 or 7 player for bonuszone control.
This is a much fairer starting situation for the 5,6,7 players compared to the 1,2,3,4,8 players.
It is so obvious.
