I think I prefer Allies, but that is because I always play Japan and I can confirm - it IS harder - at least until late 44 ...

Japan, because I haven't even reached journeyman status playing it.

against the AI the Allies, vs real opponents the Japs. Why? As the Allies you have the opportunity to go on the offensive later on, while as Japan the US offensive is not very challenging.

Or short, playing the AI , the AI gets the role where it is in a passive role.

Never tried an Allied campaign. Always Japan, because has everyone said it, it is harder. After 1943, with the allied war machine well greased, they have little chance of winning. I think I first got interested in the economic aspect of the fight after I read this: http://www.combinedfleet.com/economic.htm

I do prefer to be allied because I want to make game harder for all the Japanese PBEM players! [:D][;)][:D]
 
Actually, just tried one PBEM as Japan and it takes too much time to setup everything.
 
I did enjoy the Japanese game too.

Interesting Replays.
 
For me, it is Japan, and Japan Only.
 
First, Because I love to kick the ass of the Allies throu the entire war, as thay are expected to win.
And second, I couldnt get my self to play the Nation with the Largest Indistrual Power, would be a boring walkover [;)] lool

I like playing both the Japanese and the Allied. Japan because of the challenge, Allies because of all of the "toys".

For PBEM, I like playing Allies, because I have slow dial-up and it is easier to attach (1) 1.5 meg file then it is to attach (2) 1.5 meg files.

Allies.  They are the good guys and patience is rewarded.  Besides, nefarious, calculating folks like Miller and John III like to play the Japs, so we beacons of light, freedom, and all things good need to keep them in their places.

So far I have always played Japan. I continue to do so because I have the forlorn hope that maybe some day I will finally master Japanese industry and production. I would like to play the Allied side some time just to be able to wield that enormous late-game power, though.

The guy I started playing WitP with is a long-time computer wargaming buddy. I played Japan in my first game because we fell into the pattern a long time ago of me playing the "bad guys". That is, I always play the Confederacy in our Civil War games and the Axis powers in our WWII games. The only exception I can think of right off hand was "North Atlantic '86", where I played Nato and he played the Soviets.

In a PBEM I like playing the Allies because of the diversity of nations, weapons, etc.  Plus it's fun to stuff Japanese players early on. [:D]

Against the AI, I don't like playing the Allies, it's way too easy.  I think if you play through to the end of the grand campaign as Japan the even the AI might be challenging.

I have always tended to play Japan first in any ww2 game as generally it is harder. Once i master that side I will play the allies but it is usually pretty easy by that point.

Japan. 'Rising Sun beer' (aka Tsingtao beer) is so much better than Miller or Bud... [/align] [/align]And because of the harder/honour/underdog/challenge reasons.  [/align]
