Badges for number of hours played can be awarded upon linking your steam profile. (This allows you to play a major without being questioned.)

If the Axis have been relatively quiet and the Comintern has been gobbling up a lot of countries the Allies must at least talk over the possibility of fighting them. (For RP reasons, the Allies would have considered Stalin a bigger threat than Hitler if he was the one annexing multiple countries. Even if this means the Allies have a lower chance of winning.This is a game after all and it’s more about having fun than winning.)
