Crunch time. The Allies are solidifying. The Axis nations (France, Germany, Russia, and Iraq) will probably meet heads, too.

Just a side question here, does anybody know what, if anything, "Axis" stands for? I've read dozens of WW2 books and have never found a clear answer. I understand "Allies" (countries who stick together to fight a common enemy) but always wondered what "Axis" means.
