The axis have often been called the underdogs in War of Supremacy due to a lesser number of players (arguably because the majority of new players join as the USA). Numbers aren't everything though and with the right co-ordination, the axis have done well in the past. There is further debate about which side has the better country bonuses, with many arguing that Axis bonuses are superior.

Axis players themselves seem to be a collection of Europeans mostly in the younger age bracket of below 30-40.
