It occurred to me that my math was off, and that there were seven major contestants in WWII. That being said, combining France/England and Germany/Italy, while making a lot of Europeans grumble, is probably a fair way to do things if you're stuck to five colors.

Cool idea, but I don't think this would work well, maybe I'll add a watermark when I have time to play around with a picturemanipulationprogramm...
About the factions: in my first draft I had Italy as green and GB as blue, then I realised I should place the Axis on allied colors so I switched them. But because there was also Japan and that fits blue WAY better I changed that. Green became france because GB would have needed a lot of flyers, nothing green can offer...

You may also want to change the frames to Hybrid frames if you think it will help. For example, Japan can use blue mana symbols, but have a red-white Hybrid frame more indicative of Japan. I admit, it's an extra click for each card, which could be annoying. That, and every frickin' country wants to use red.
It's also a shame that WWII has 6 major combatants. I see you gave the fifth spot to France, not Italy, which makes sense... but with mainland France beaten so fast, I could see Italy taking that spot instead. Maybe you can create a Sixth color for Italy using the chaos mana symbol () and gold card frames?

For now this idea is discarded and I'll keep the german names where it makes sense (Schutzstaffel, Stuka...).

I'm not sure if I should make a card like this. If anyone is offended by this card please tell me and I'll delete/change it ASAP.
